The Global BioChallenge to mobilize large-scale investment for nature-based growth by 2028 was quietly launched at last month’s COP30 in Belém, Brazil. And this year’s Agri Impact Investing Report indicates that private capital is slowly awakening to the investment opportunity and the critical role it can play in supporting nature-based solutions to the climate crisis.

From aquaculture to the rise of technology, we look at how impact investors are trying to make a positive difference.
Impact investing in agriculture may have been slow off the mark – investors have only recently taken an interest – but this expanding sector has a key role to play in reducing emissions, improving food security and strengthening livelihoods.
