A recent report by The Rockefeller Foundation, Transformational Investing in Food Systems and Pollination looks at financing for regenerative agriculture and the innovative financing instruments leading the way. AGRI3 Fund’s guarantee for Rabobank’s USD 20 million loan to Brazilian family agribusiness, Agro São José, features as a successful example of a replicable structure for smaller ticket size transactions. The guarantee enabled a 10-year loan tenor for the farm to focus on the restoration of soil health, orange tree planting and the necessary commitments to achieve international sustainable agricultural certification.

Last week AGRI3 Fund’s Managing Director Deniz Harut and Cardano Development CEO Joost Zuidberg attended the Bridging Africa-Europe SDG Investment Summit in Nairobi, where they teamed up with like-minded investors and explored illustrations and models of Kenya's attractive future as a leading sustainable economy.    Deniz visited a number of local companies in the agricultural value chains, including Karakuta Farms (pictured), which produces Global GAP certified Hass avocados and organic herbs that are grown in a controlled production environment (greenhouses and shades) to protect the produce from extreme weather conditions. Attendees of the summit also had the opportunity to visit Bidco Africa, Origin Fresh and SunCulture. Many thanks to Building Bridges and co-hosts United Nations Kenya, the Swiss Embassy in Kenya, and the SDG Partnership Platform Kenya.    #BridgingAfricaEuropeSDGInvestment #sustainableagriculture #foodsystems
