OVERVIEW

There are major inefficiencies in the way food and land use systems are financed. Current practices typically fail to price in the hidden costs of climate-related financial, social and environmental risk. Nature-positive and regenerative business models are crucial to tackling global warming, protecting species against extinction, creating jobs and building social and economic resilience to future shocks. But they are still in their infancy. The challenge is to get to scale. Transitioning to a more sustainable food and land use system will therefore require capital to be reallocated from the “old” food and land use economy into the new one – with over $300bn new investment needed every year. The good news is that such investment could generate $4.5 trillion annually in new economic opportunities by 2030. This initiative explores potential pathways to mobilise large-scale capital through best practices across the world.
