For investors in agrifood systems, business as usual is no longer viable. Evidence shows that the negative externalities of global agrifood systems outstrip the global market value of agricultural production by a ratio of two to one. Our food system has become value destroying as measured in climate change, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, diet related disease, and erosion of farmer well-being– all of which threaten the resilience of agrifood supply chains. Nutritional concerns place pressure on food producers and distributors to increase the availability of affordable, healthy food, even as changing temperatures and precipitation patterns decrease crop yields. Meanwhile, policymakers are passing regulations to mitigate the negative climate, biodiversity, and health consequences of industrialized food production systems.
The Financing for Regenerative Agriculture report sheds light on how investors are beginning to drive the transition to a more resilient global agrifood supply chain.
