Guidebook for Landscape Investments

Developed to inspire and guide businesses in scaling up successful and impactful regenerative landscape projects, this Guidebook for Landscape Investments includes 12 case studies showcasing replicable success factors and solutions deployed to overcome barriers, highlighting the impact that agrifood companies can achieve when working collaboratively and investing at scale. Five key lessons for success emerge from this Guidebook: 

• Leading landscape programs coordinate a diverse set of partners to maximize scale and impact 
• Programs are increasingly measuring and reporting on outcomes but a lack of alignment on measurement indicators drives up monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) costs 
• Successful programs recognizing farmers are at the center of the transition and support them through incentives and technical assistance 
• Innovative finance is flowing in the form of fit-for-purpose financial instruments, along with new ways to stack public and private capital 
• Common challenges still persist and require a phased approach to tackle them as programs move up the adoption curve 

The path forward is clear. We now need to unlock finance and increase investments for agrifood systems transformation. Increased collaboration between farmers, businesses, investors, civil society and policymakers is needed to accelerate the regeneration of landscapes and achieve impact at scale, for people, planet and prosperity.
