Good food finance has a critical and underrepresented role to play in addressing the world’s most pressing challenges. Opportunities for engagement are listed below.
GFFN Members and Friends
GFFN Members and Friends can benefit from peer-exchange and including their voice in the development of guidance, tools and recommendations to be publicly promoted through our GFFN partners. They are required to participate in a number of meetings and contribute to discussions and knowledge products.
GFFN Members
We are looking for financial actors and organizations actively involved in financing food systems to come and join us. That includes traditional financial actors as well as public sector financing organizations, supply chain financial actors, and businesses.
GFFN Friends
We are looking for experts and partner organizations, such as our supporting partners Just Rural Transition, the Milken Institute, Farm2Fork FEAST initiative, and others.
The aim is to drive sectoral action on the ground contributing to the identification of actionable areas of innovation, the detailing of innovation pathways, and good-practice guidance toward addressing critical financial imperatives related to food systems transformation. This work includes targeted efforts to raise ambition, to integrate data systems to support multidimensional performance tracking, and to establish a game-changing co-investment platform for food systems transformation.
The High Ambition Group
The High Ambition Group is a leadership initiative composed of public and private financial institutions, including C-suite participation of global environmental funds, banks, asset managers, and agribusinesses. Join the HAG to lead the change towards more sustainable food systems through setting and publicly committing to ambitious targets, putting a roadmap for implementation into place, and pioneering sustainable finance solutions.
The Good Food Finance Facility
The GFFN is calling for key stakeholders—including private investors and financial institutions, finance ministries, multilateral agencies, and public development banks—to work together to scale finance for healthy, sustainable food systems and effectively transform food finance through strategic co-investments and catalytic funding cooperation. The Good Food Finance Facility is being developed with a vision to catalyzing and accelerating this massive shift and scaling of finance for healthy, sustainable food systems, across all relevant existing, new, and emerging pools of finance. It will do this by crowding in existing sources of funding and investment from public, private, multilateral, and philanthropic sources.
We need food systems transformation to move at speed and scale everywhere. Local, national, and international efforts are all critical. The major gap is a global backstop mechanism to ensure signals are clear and financing is available, across the diverse range of contexts shaping food system value chains, food culture, and related financial markets. This global Good Food Finance Facility will be working closely with existing funds and facilities—to ensure catalytic funding gets where it needs to go, while mainstream financial activity is invited and sustained, to secure the wider transformation.
