Read the working paper

This Working Paper on Systemic Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in Agriculture, Nutrition, and Food Systems developed by the US Board for International Food and Agricultural Development (BIFAD) explores three primary intervention categories that can be used as entry points for sustainable food systems: (i) market enabling, (ii) pipeline development, and (iii) direct capital participation. 

Chapter 5 of the working paper goes on a deep dive on climate finance to catalyze inclusive adaptation and mitigation actions, covering many high level ideas on how to mobilize capital. This deep dive focuses on two key thematic opportunities: 

  • High potential mechanisms to intermediate large amounts of capital, targeted specifically to small-scale adaptation and mitigation actions 
  • Government and public sector tools and opportunities to catalyze and incentivize (private) finance into food systems
