Financing the food systems that will feed the planet on a 1.5°C budget.
The Challenge
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.
Our Approach
Assess the climate vulnerability and transition opportunities within specific food systems identifying priority interventions, quantifying the capital required, and evaluating existing financing instruments.
Design innovative financing structures supporting the shift toward climate-adaptive agriculture from smallholder resilience bonds to large-scale agroforestry investment facilities.
Partner with implementing organisations to operationalise sustainable agri-food initiatives ensuring food systems are resilient, reliable, and equitable for all participants.
