Green finance as a critical lever for delivering sustainable agrifood systems – A global landscape study 2023

Also available in:

No results found.

The global landscape study on ‘Green finance as a critical lever for delivering sustainable agrifood system’ is an inclusive commentary on the current status of green finance to agrifood sector in the global south and its support system. This document provides evidence that the current green finance trends favour the development of the clean energy industry, whereas smallholder agriculture has not had the same success. Financing the agrifood sector in a “business as usual” mode is not a sufficient condition to mitigate the risks emanated from a range of climatic shocks and unprecedented events impacting the global food value chains. Sustainable financing mechanisms through innovative instruments and business practices are potential solutions and green finance emerges as the way forward to shift the focus from economic profit creation to the generation of stakeholder’s value (economic, environmental, and social governance). The document presents an excellent opportunity that can help elicit ongoing initiatives, application mechanisms, and significant issues to build global narratives about developing an inclusive approach to green finance services for the agrifood sector.

FAO’s work to improve farmers’ access to quality seeds addresses the needs for enhanced productivity and nutrition, especially in response to climate change and population increase. It seeks to make available the widest possible diversity of welladapted varieties. The interventions target the informal and formal seed delivery systems, and recognize the role of both the public and private sectors. FAO therefore works with government agencies, research and breeding institutions, seed enterprises a nd community-based organizations in the development and operation of a sustainable seed sector value chain.

The case study on the collaboration between FAO and the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM) aims to highlight the results achieved through the collaboration established in 2016. Among the activities, the case study will emphasize on how universities, private companies and producer organizations, from several countries, collaborate to develop capacities and raise awareness on topics related to Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forest in the context of national food security and Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems. Further key results focus on the generation and dissemination of knowledge products as well as the assessment and systematization of good practices on food security, nutrition governance, rural economics and climate smart agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean.
