Sector

Food & Agriculture Finance

Financing the food systems that will feed the planet on a 1.5°C budget.

The Challenge

Food Systems Are Responsible for 30% of GHG Emissions

Food systems and agriculture provide sustenance fundamental to human survival and underpin the livelihoods of more than 3.8 billion people. But current methods are responsible for significant biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation, and 30% of greenhouse gas emissions.

With the world having already breached the 1.5°C threshold, there is an urgent need to drive climate-adaptive agricultural models. BwB develops structures that fund sustainable agri-food initiatives across diverse scales and geographies.
