Doing More Together: Unlocking Co-investment for Sustainable Agriculture
Hosted by One Planet Business for Biodiversity (OP2B) and PepsiCo
Sustainable farming flourishes when innovation, investment and collaboration come together. As the EU prepares its next Common Agricultural Policy and explores new tools like carbon and nature credits, there’s growing momentum to unlock co-investment between public and private actors.
This session brings together policymakers, financial institutions, business and farmer representatives to discuss how blended finance can make sustainable agriculture competitive, scalable and rewarding for the people driving it, especially young farmers.
During the event, the One Planet Business for Biodiversity (OP2B) coalition and PepsiCo will launch new joint research on co-financing models and showcase how collaboration can turn climate ambition into real progress in the fields.
Stefania Avanzini, Director Agriculture & Food and OP2B at WBCSD, will open the session with a keynote setting the stage for the panel discussion.
