There is an enormous opportunity in front of us: 🌎 To transform our agriculture and food systems from a root cause of some of the world’s biggest challenges to a solution. 💰 To turn capital from a key driver of extractive systems to a driver of sustainability and regeneration. There’s a growing ecosystem of people and companies at work doing this right now… #farmers #supplychain #cpg #policymakers #agtech #venturecapital #privateequity #philanthropy #debt And WE NEED YOU!

The UN Environment Program highlights cellular agriculture and alternative proteins as key solutions for reducing the environmental impact of the global food system, particularly in high- and middle-income countries. These alternatives, including plant-based meats, cultivated meat, and fermented products, offer potential benefits such as lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduced land degradation, and improved animal welfare. While conventional animal products pose significant environmental and health challenges, novel alternatives present opportunities to address climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution while promoting healthier and more sustainable food choices. However, realizing these benefits requires government support, transparent research, and policies that prioritize food security, equity, and cultural considerations. If you're eager to delve deeper into the realm of cellular agriculture in Canada and its profound impact on the food industry, we invite you to join us this coming Thursday 12-1PM for an enlightening dialogue. Engage with pioneering startups driving the forefront of cellular agriculture in Canada. 🧬Register below #EnvironmentalImpact #VirtualEvent #District3BioStream Jennifer Côté | Frank Yu | Andrew Hui | Mahzad Sharifahmadian | #BenMcCormick New Harvest | Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada/ Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada #CellularAgriculture

Are carbon markets going to change the game for attracting funds into sustainable farming businesses in Brazil? Seems the supply chain has a bigger and closer opportunity - read about it here! Sustainable Brazil 🇧🇷

The shift to regenerative agriculture must bring financial benefits to farmers. Just as climate investments must make commercial sense for investors, they must also make commercial sense for smallholder farmers. farmers must see some tangible benefits from the new practices, and also that there is a safety net for farmers as they take on new risks. It’s also crucial that we identify cases where farmers can make the transition to regenerative agriculture with little or no capital investment. these smallholder farmers, funding pilot programs that demonstrate the business case of regenerative agriculture can help foster behavior change. By focusing on financing that makes sense for private-sector investors and smallholder farmers, we can help Africa’s vitally important agriculture sector adapt to climate change and build much-needed resilience while reducing its emissions. We must work together now to identify solutions and truly live up to the spirit expressed in Copenhagen in 2009. #regenerativeagriculture #africa #smallholderfarmers #funding Acha Leke Abdalla Yahya Ibrahim Brita Staal Jaume Mora Pedros Guenter Schmittberger Ingrid-Gabriela Hoven Gilbêrt van Lierop Gabriela A.

🌾 Given its importance to our food ecosystem, agriculture is essential to human life and it will require all of us to ensure its long-term viability. This is where #partnerships go a long way!   As the world adjusts to climate breakdown and upticks in food demand, farmers – particularly #smallholders – require the support of partners to sustainably enhance their practices and adaptation to a dynamic agricultural environment.   At AgriG8, we are already a proud partner to many smallholder farmers, assisting them with transitioning to more sustainable practices.   Beyond our own expertise, there are many more collaborations that can do smallholder farmers a lot of good! For instance, organisations such as the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA), offer an excellent platform that can amplify farmer voices at an international stage.   Our very own CEO, David C.Y. Chen, was a panel speaker at a roundtable discussion hosted by the organisation this year; we used the opportunity to present our insights, AgriG8's vision and essential farmer input on themes exploring digital tools and services that can bridge relevant gaps in the agricultural sector.   🌐Such networking opportunities with more agriculture-focused organisations present can potentially drive future joint initiatives aimed at benefitting smallholder farmers.    Our goal to achieve #sustainableagriculture becomes that much more attainable as partnerships help us expand our ideas and resources. We can't wait to meet more like-minded groups that share our sustainable vision for smallholder farmers! #partnerships #innovation #sustainableagriculture
