Thank you to the Milken Institute Feeding Change for highlighting the urgent need to invest in transforming food systems through this brief. "We need to transition the food system, but it can't be just for the environment, it also has to be for human health. It has to provide the financial returns that are necessary for all the actors across the food system, from the farmer to the investor, to all of those who produce in between" - Ertharin Cousin, FSF Founder and CEO.
JUST RELEASED: Our latest brief, Insights on Investments in Food Systems Transformation, explores four key themes that emerged from public and panel discussions at our Milken Institute global events and COP28. Themes include the relationship between public policy and private industry investment, the risks of investing vs. not investing, investor mindsets, and barriers to investment. These themes inform three actionable opportunity areas for collaboration and activation ahead of COP30.
