City food finance principles to build Climate Value
Cities are increasingly important in the work of shaping human access to health and wellbeing. As more of the world’s population moves to cities, decisions that determine whether air and water are clean and safe, and how food is acquired and distributed in local economies, may determine how long people live and how free theyContinue reading “City food finance principles to build Climate Value”
Make trade work for everyone
Climate value must be built into all decisions on trade By Steve Valk As the world strives to meet the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions enough to keep the increase in temperature from exceeding the 1.5°C threshold, international trade has the potential to be the driver of best-case outcomes for people and for theContinue reading “Make trade work for everyone”

Good Food System Transition: Repurposing agricultural support to promote fiscal resilience, human and planetary health
There are opportunities for institutional investors and policymakers to work together on the agenda of repurposing agricultural support and on agricultural policies. This can inform win-win policies that can better support human health, help stabilize the climate, as well as enhance businesses’ productivity and preserve the ecosystems on which food production depends.
The future of food and agriculture: Drivers and triggers for transformation
The fundamental message of this report is that it is still possible to push agrifood systems along a pattern of sustainability and resilience, if key “triggers” of transformation are properly activated. However, strategic policy options to activate them will have to “outsmart” vested interests, hidden agendas and conflicting objectives, and trade off short-term unsustainable achievements for longer-term sustainability, resilience and inclusivity.
Food and Agriculture for Sustainable Transformation Initiative (FAST)
The FAST initiative will be a multi-stakeholder partnership acting as an accelerator to transform agrifood systems to deliver triple wins: for people, for climate and for nature.
FAST is designed as a catalyst, building on ongoing global and regional initiatives and coalitions to drive effective actions, and avoiding duplication.
Sustainable Rice Landscapes Initiative report
This report explores the opportunities, needs and requirements to leverage private sector investment in sustainable rice landscapes. By improving the flow of capital into rice production, the private sector can help lower interest rates for new equipment, extend access to early warning systems, reduce food loss and improve access to climate-resilient seeds. This report was launched during the GFFN press conference and is a really concrete example of innovative and collaborative approaches to finance sustainable food systems.
