As part of their due diligence process, companies are expected to involve stakeholders in a meaningful way in all the due diligence steps. This means that stakeholders, such as smallholder farmers, should be included when mapping human rights and environmental risks, when mitigation and prevention decisions are made, or when remediation is needed for harms caused. Little guidance exists on what this engagement should look like. The aim of this research was to ask smallholder farmers what experience they have with stakeholder engagement and what their suggestions are based on this experience.
