Webinar

Financing a Sustainable Food System

Join us for a free webinar on the topic of financing a sustainable food system on December 6th in recognition of World Soil Day and the International Day of Banks from the day before – 4th December. 

The webinar will discuss the existing fiscal challenges of the food system at present, but will also address the different means of financing new forms of food production and distribution for a more sustainable global food system. 

It will also include the challenges companies and investors face in determining what sustainability looks like across a range of production systems, in different sub-sectors, and across different parts of the world.

Based on a recent World Bank report – Food Finance Architecture: Financing a Healthy, Equitable and Sustainable Food System Food systems , today’s food systems generate $12 trillion in hidden social, economic, and environmental costs. 

To address these costs, there is an urgent call to implement “food finance imperatives” with a potential to unlocking $4.5 trillion in new business opportunities every year. This will require both private and public funding to evolve more resilient, regenerative and sustainable agrifood production practices and citizen behavioural changes.

This webinar will host a wide range of experts across the globe from policy makers, researchers and industry leaders who will share their insights about the existing challenges and a series of options that could aid with the transition to a sustainable food system.
