Closing the global financing gap for sustainable agriculture requires an estimated $300 billion annually. So while the transition to sustainable agriculture at scale is essential, it is also costly. This raises questions about who should bear these expenses and how funding structures can be built for long-term impact. This session will bring together finance and agriculture leaders to explore funding models, from private investments to public-private partnerships, that can support sustainable practices. The key topics we will explore include:
- How to align investors’ interests with environmental goals
- Ways to de-risk financing for farmers
- How the cost of sustainability can be equitably shared across the supply chain.
