Just last week, our flags flew over the chilly Mont Blanc Bridge here in #Geneva—symbolising strength and connection during this cold season and following a tough year. In a world facing many uncertainties, we stand firm and focused on our mission to align capital flows with sustainability goals. As the year draws to a close, we’re taking a short break to rest and recharge. We’ll be back on 2 January, ready to face the challenges of the year ahead. We hope you join us in finding time to pause, reflect, and gather strength for the new year. Wishing you a purposeful start to 2025. See you soon! #BuildingBridges24 Photo Credit: Laurent Cipriani

🌱 What does it take to finance the transition to a healthy, sustainable and regenerative food system? 🚀 We have been exploring the specific challenges related to financing and scaling regenerative agriculture, including: 🔵High initial costs and transaction fees. 🔵Longer windows needed to see returns. 🔵Misaligned practices for setting goals and collecting data across the food value chain. During the discussion at Building Bridges last week, we identified several pathways for accelerating the shift towards sustainable food systems, considering solutions like: 🔵Blended public-private financing models to reduce risk. 🔵Measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) technologies to build trust. 🔵Innovative funding pathways to improve farmers’ access to capital. How do you think we can overcome barriers to financing regenerative agriculture? Listen to our Katherine Foster as she shares her thoughts on the discussion and tell us what you think in the comments.👇 #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableFinance #FutureOfFood #ImprovingFood
