Community of Practice: Food Systems Finance

The field of Financial Services is necessary to innovate sustainable food systems. In this field, public, private, and blended finance have an important role to play to enable and stimulate food system transformation towards sustainability. We note the need for ‘a bridge between food and finance’. On the one hand, financial institutions are eager to fill their pipe-line while on the other hand innovations like climate-finance and de-risking are necessary to create a feasible pipe-line.

The community is open to existing sustainable food systems finance challenges from the South. These challenges can be introduced by any food system stakeholder to the community. The community members, with their expertise on Food Systems and Financial Services, will co-create and pilot solutions for these challenges.

The ideal members of the community will be representatives of Public-, Private- and Blended Finance Institutions, Impact Investors and Food System Finance experts from NGO’s and knowledge institutes.
