Our work supports businesses to support ambitious change toward regenerative, equitable and nutritious agrifood systems. We align on clear policy asks, elevate business solutions, and convene public–private dialogues. We also strengthen collaboration across value chains and between public and private sectors, working closely with our thematic and regional teams.
The Challenge
Climate change poses physical risks to agriculture and food systems, from reducing crop yields and disrupting supply chains to exacerbating food insecurity. Farmers globally are thereby facing mounting economic, environmental and societal challenges that threaten their ability to produce food, feed, fuel, and fiber for a growing population. To decarbonize agrifood systems and address climate change, businesses must accelerate the adoption of regenerative agriculture; address land-use and deforestation; and promote healthy and sustainable diets. But, progress is constrained by fragmented policies, misaligned incentives and uneven accountability systems.
The Business Case
Businesses drive ambitious sustainability solutions and are committed to raising ambition by advocating for an enabling policy and finance environment. Forward‑looking companies see that enabling policy frameworks and harmonized measurement reduce risk, improve resilience and open markets, allowing sustainability to be a driver of competitiveness.
The Solution
An enabling policy environment is crucial to attracting investment, mitigating risks for producers, and ensuring long-term adoption of regenerative approaches. Public-private collaboration can align political and financial incentives with sustainability outcomes. This alignment creates an enabling framework that builds political support for the agrifood transition and supports the sector’s resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.
