Investing in Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems: The Latin American Perspective (Invite only)

-

Against a backdrop of increasingly severe weather events, evolving trade agreement negotiations, and competition for land and water resources, countries across Latin America have made reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 a key priority. Companies operating in Mexico, Brazil, and beyond are supporting these efforts through partnerships, innovations, and financing initiatives to decarbonize their supply chains, including incentivizing climate-smart agricultural practices, preventing deforestation, improving soil health and water usage, and transitioning to renewable energy sources. In this dynamic discussion, food industry leaders and investors will discuss opportunities to improve the sustainability and resiliency of food supply chains and the financing, policies, and partnerships needed to support these efforts in the lead-up to COP30 in Brazil.
