The recent edit to add this section appears rather academic and theoretical. Below I suggest some possible improvements:

The private sector’s role in achieving sustainability (DEFINE IN THIS CONTEXT) has increasingly been recognized since the publication of Our Common Future (Brundtland Report) (WIKILINK) in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development (WIKILINK). More recently, the role of value chains has become very prominent (NOT SURE WHAT THIS MEANS) and businesses are emerging as the primary catalyst for sustainability.(SOME AGRICULTURAL EXAMPLES WOULD BE USEFUL TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS MEANT HERE) Kevin Dooley, Chief Scientist of the Sustainability Consortium, claims that such market-based mechanisms are the most efficient and effective way to induce the adoption of sustainable practices. Still, there are concerns about whether value chains are really driving sustainability[21] or merely green-washing.(WIKILINK)[22]

These concepts can also be expanded or understood as power dynamics. In the last decade or so, hybrid forms of governance have emerged where business, civil society and public actors interact, and these multi-stakeholder approaches claim new concepts of legitimacy and even more likely sustainability.(SOME EXAMPLES OF MULTISTAKEHOLDER APPROACHES WOULD BE USEFUL) [23]

Scholars (NOT SURE I WOULD CONSIDER THE SECOND-NAMED TO BE A SCHOLAR, RESEARCHER WOULD BE BETTER) including Michael Schmidt (Dean and Department Chair, University Brandenburg and Daniele Giovannucci (President of the Committee on Sustainability Assessment) outline, based on decades of their research, that evidence is emerging on what makes a value chain sustainable.[24](i THINK THIS EVIDENCE NEEDS TO BE SUMMARISED HERE)

There is evidence too that global value chains that have an impact on the environment and the societies they serve such as farmers and suppliers can be effectively measured. The World Bank also supports the perspective that GVCs can be valuable for sustainable development and provides an array of examples and data.
