Food System Finance

In the field of Financial Services, necessary to innovate sustainable food systems, the public, private and blended finance have an important role to play to enable and stimulate food system transformation towards sustainability.

A bridge between food and finance

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 feasible pipe-line. It is for this reason that NFP is facilitating a Community of Practice (CoP) Finance for Sustainable Food Systems.

Who is this community for?

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

CoP objectives

1. Co-create and pilot solutions for concrete challenges in Sustainable Food System Finance 

2. Gather existing and create new knowledge around Food Systems Finance and make this available for the wider community.

CoP members

In order to reach this objective the ideal members of the CoP will be representatives of Public-, Private- and Blended Finance Institutions, Impact Investors and Food System Finance experts from NGO’s and knowledge institutes.
