🌾 Calling Farmers to Collaborate 🤝 Hello Farmers, In the world of sustainable agriculture, let's shift the narrative from competition to collaboration. Inspired by SDG 17, I believe in the power of partnerships to elevate us all. 🤝 **Embrace Collaboration:** Together, we can pool resources, share knowledge, and innovate for a more sustainable and productive future. 🌍 **Community Strength:** Collaborating isn't just about individual success; it's about building resilient agricultural communities. 🤲 **Open for Collaboration:** I, Kenechukwu Anthony Nwobodo, extend an invitation to fellow farmers. Let's achieve more together than we ever could alone. Let's break free from competition, embrace collaboration, and cultivate a future of flourishing fields and thriving communities. 🚜🌾 #CollaborativeFarming #SDG17 #SustainableAgriculture 🌱🤝

LETTER FROM MY CLIMATE EXECUTIVE COACH 104 In today's rapidly changing world, the necessity to incline towards being climate smart has never been more critical. The effects of climate change are undeniable, impacting our food systems, livelihoods, and economies. Adopting innovative and sustainable practices is no longer just an option—it’s a necessity. This is why the FIRST INSTALLMENT of our Mentorship Accelerator Program has been designed with a focus on Advancing Agribusiness through Innovation and Climate-Smart Practices. This program is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to transform your agribusiness operations, making them more resilient, efficient, and sustainable. Let's lead the way in creating a more sustainable and prosperous agribusiness sector.

What options do corporates have for financing on-farm carbon emission reductions and removals? Happy to have supported in this paper on 'Financing mechanisms for land-based actions' describing these options. Congrats to Kate Newbury-Hyde on leading in this work and the roundtable at #NewYorkClimateWeek #decarbonization #scope3 #WBCSD #NYCW #reporting

Want to dig deeper into the advantages and considerations of different financing models both in value chain and beyond, such as #LowCarbonCommodities, #CarbonCredits and #DirectPayments?  Check out WBCSD’s new resource “Financing mechanisms for land-based action” covering:   ✅ Which mechanisms are available for corporate investment in land-based action with positive outcomes for #climate, #nature and #livelihoods   ✅ How the most impactful mechanism depends on the objectives and activity type     ✅ Why we need all these mechanisms to work at scale for farmers and producer communities    WBCSD calls on agrifood corporates to leverage a portfolio of mechanisms to effectively scale land-based interventions.   The paper also identifies actions for government, standard-setters, financial institutions, project developers, farmers and local communities.  Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e_sXw9eJ   Thanks to members and partners who contributed to this white paper: Indigo South Pole Proforest Conservation International Value Change Initiative IETA International Platform for Insetting (IPI) The Nature Conservancy We look forward to discussing the findings at our roundtable during #ClimateWeekNYC with Gabriela Burian (she/her) 🇧🇷🇫🇷🇨🇿🇺🇸 , Natasha Santos, Bayer , Marina Freitas Grossi , Conselho Empresarial Brasileiro para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável (Cebds), Ewan Lamont, Laurence T.P.

On this #WorldMSMEDay, we recognize the vital role of agricultural SMEs in rural communities. They are pillars of local economies creating market linkages and job opportunities, and play a pivotal role in reaching our collective #climate goals by facilitating inputs and promoting climate resilient activities with farmers. However, financing the #agricultural #SME sector often is associated with heightened risks and high transaction costs. As impact investors, we choose to navigate these barriers and support agri-SME strengthening and growth in exchange for the #social and environmental #impact they create. As the sector evolves, we continue to call on donors to share in that risk and to strengthen SMEs’ management and operational capacity to navigate market, climate, supply chain, and other crises. #MissingMiddle

I greatly appreciate Dr. Jeremiah Rogito’s dedication and passion for promoting youth involvement in transforming food systems. I wholeheartedly agree that engaging in the policy-making process is essential for young people. Policies serve as the tools we can use to reimagine and cultivate a better present and future. Therefore, it is imperative for us as young people to understand the platforms and pathways available for meaningful engagement. #YLPfoodSystems #ClimateChange

Youth role in development is very key and considering the contribution, participation can truly transform the agri sector in aspects, value chains and policies

Thrilled to share insights on the pivotal role of the private sector in shaping climate-responsive agrifood systems! FAO | UNDP🌱 Agrifood companies and relevant private sector actors play a crucial role in advancing climate action on a global scale. The SCALA programme recognizes this significance and has devised a comprehensive Private Sector Engagement (PSE) strategy to drive transformative climate action in agriculture and land use sectors. The SCALA PSE strategy focuses on three key intervention areas: 1. Mapping the private sector landscape to identify partners for climate action and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration. 2. Strengthening the evidence base to articulate the business case for private sector engagement in climate action. 3. Addressing barriers and catalyzing private investment through innovative de-risking instruments. These interventions are pivotal in overcoming barriers such as misalignment of objectives, limited understanding of climate risks, and lack of investable ideas. However, engaging the private sector in climate-responsive food systems remains a formidable task for many countries. To support countries in this endeavor, a guidance brief has been developed, aligned with the SCALA PSE intervention areas. This resource, complemented with tailored consultations, aims to empower country teams to effectively engage with the private sector and drive impactful climate action. Together, let's unlock the potential of private sector partnerships to create resilient and sustainable agrifood systems. 🌍💼 More content here: https://lnkd.in/dAyeiBZ2 #ClimateAction #PrivateSectorEngagement #AgrifoodSystems #SCALAProgramme #SustainabilityLeadership

Agulhas recently led a rigorous summary of interventions contributing to a #JustTransition in developing countries, with a focus on energy, agriculture and food, ecosystems services and infrastructure. It explores the mechanisms, enablers and barriers to success; looking at what works, how, in what context and for whom. Here's a blog about it by my colleague Gemma Norrington-Davies Be informed.
