The guide provides an overview of the different types of incentives that can be used to attract responsible investment in agriculture and food systems, such as tax incentives, subsidies, and grants. It also provides practical examples and case studies of how these incentives have been used in different countries to promote responsible investment. In terms of food finance and investment, the guide emphasizes the importance of aligning investment with the needs of smallholder farmers and other marginalized groups, and highlights the need for collaboration between different sectors, including the private sector, to create sustainable and inclusive food systems.
