We all have favorite films that make us cry, inspire us, and touch our souls in wonderful but inexplicable ways. The majority of these films share a common theme: a single story of hope and love that has been told and retold in a thousand different ways, always to the same effect. This story points to something we all inherently need or subconsciously long for, even though we don’t fully understand why. T. L. Hartley explores the meaning behind that story—God’s tale of hope for us all—and why it matters in order to help others discover their part in this grand yet little understood epic. While revisiting the themes and characters from a variety of movies, Hartley draws a distinction between the stories that titillate the senses or manipulate emotions and the ones that challenge the mind and soul, and delves into the origin of certain stories, their meaning, why we never tire of hearing these stories, and why they matter so much to so many. The One Story offers an inspirational examination of the common theme behind many movies while encouraging others to hope in the mystery of the unseen and believe in the power of the greatest story ever told.

Deforestation-free production will be a requirement of the global market from now through 2030. More than 1,000 financial institutions (e.g. banks, trusts, donors) and 600 multinational companies have pledged to produce and supply zero-deforestation agricultural products, and these establishments (financial institutions and multinational companies) are developing a process of testing, screening and certification for service providers and countries that produce or export agroforestry products. The governments of European countries, the Americas and Australia are also aggressively building a legal framework to monitor and verify that imported goods have not resulted in deforestation or forest degradation.In Vietnam, 92 domestic and foreign companies from 21 fields and industries have signed commitments to achieve zero deforestation by 2020. These industries include: fashion (apparel and footwear); agriculture; cosmetics and personal care; food and agriculture; retail chains; home construction (furniture and flooring, and renovation supplies); consumer goods; paper and packaging; printing and publishing; and automotive industry (rubber, automobile manufacturing). These companies contribute greatly to the national GDP and local economic development, and are major buyers of agricultural products including coffee, wood, soybeans and poultry.However, businesses in Vietnam are not prepared to adapt the supply chain of agroforestry products to this trend; they require knowledge and skills to face the new market requirements. Without further research and long-term planning, Vietnam's agroforestry products industry is at risk of losing market share to fierce international competition, leading to enormous economic losses for the country.The government needs to develop a legal framework to support and monitor companies that meet deforestation-free commitments, while building the capacity of stakeholders to respond to the requirements of new markets, in order to ensure a solid position for agroforestry products and their sustainable contribution to the national economy over the next 30 years.

Sản xuất và kinh doanh không liên quan đến phá rừng là yêu cầu của thị trường toàn cầu từ nay tới năm 2030. Hơn 1000 thể chế tài chính (ví dụ: ngân hàng, quỹ ủy thác, nhà tài trợ), và 600 tập đoàn đa quốc gia trên toàn cầu đã cam kết sản xuất và cung cấp các sản phẩm nông sản không liên quan đến phá rừng và đang xây dựng quy trình kiểm tra, sàng lọc, cấp chứng chỉ cho các bên cung ứng dịch vụ và các nước sản xuất sản phẩm nông lâm sản. Chính phủ của các nước khối Châu Âu, Châu Mỹ và Châu Úc cũng đang ráo riết xây dựng hành lang pháp lí để kiểm duyệt và cấp chứng chỉ cho các sản phẩm nhập khẩu vào nước họ.||Tại Việt Nam, có 92 công ty trong và ngoài nước kinh doanh trên 21 lĩnh vực và ngành nghề đã kí cam kết vào lộ trình không phá rừng cho tới năm 2020. 21 lĩnh vực bao gồm: thời trang – Trang phục và giày dép, Nông nghiệp, Xây dựng Mỹ phẩm và chăm sóc cá nhân, Chuỗi bán lẻ thực phẩm, Lâm nghiệp; Nhà cửa – Nội thất và sàn nhà – Vật dụng sửa chữa nhà cửa; Hàng tiêu dùng Thực phẩm, Giấy và bao bì, in ấn và xuất bản, Công nghiệp ô tô – Cao su – Sản xuất ô tô. Các công ty này đóng góp lớn trong GDP quốc gia và phát triển kinh tế địa phương, đồng thời là người mua chủ lực cho các mặt hàng nông sản bao gồm cà phê, gỗ, đỗ tương, thịt gia súc gia cầm.||Tuy nhiên, các doanh nghiệp và chuỗi cung ứng sản phẩm nông lâm sản tại Việt Nam chưa hề được chuẩn bị cả về kiến thức, kĩ năng và quy trình để đáp ứng với các đòi hỏi mới này của thị trường. Nếu hiện trạng này không được nghiên cứu và có phương hướng chuẩn bị lâu dài, ngành nông lâm sản của Việt Nam có nguy cơ không còn cạnh tranh trong thị trường mới, dẫn đến thiệt hại kinh tế to lớn cho nền kinh tế nước nhà.||Chính phủ cần xây dựng hành lang pháp lí để hỗ trợ và giám sát các công ty thực hiện cam kết này, đồng thời nâng cao năng lực cho các bên có liên quan để đón đầu và đáp ứng với yêu cầu của thị trường mới, đảm bảo vị thế vững chắc của các ngành nông lâm sản và đóng góp bền vững của các ngành này vào nền kinh tế quốc dân trong 30 năm sắp tới.
