积极的农业
Our ambitious Scaling 积极的农业 project aims to transform global food systems by maximizing the potential of agriculture as a solution for climate, 自然与农民. The project focuses on three priority pathways where business can provide real solutions: 1) climate positive – shifting agriculture from a net source to a net sink of GHG emissions; 2) nature positive – shifting agriculture from being the main driver of nature loss to a regenerator of nature; and 3) farmer positive – activating and strengthening farming and food producing communities engagement into climate and nature priorities while ensuring resilient, 富有成效的生活.
所面临的挑战
The agricultural sector faces climate change, nature and land conversion and inequality challenges, culminating in a negative global narrative that is stifling collective solutions at scale. Key challenges for business include: lack of consistent metrics and unclear science for companies to transparently track and disclose progress; misalignment between food business goals and farmer needs, preventing combined action; fragmented public-private partnerships in major growing jurisdictions, limiting solutions at scale; lack of coherent policies and financing mechanisms to de-risk/attract widespread private sector engagement;
商业案例
