Synopsis (short abstract) The report seeks to build a better understanding of the relationship between savings and investment at the farm level, domestic and foreign corporate private investment in agriculture and agro-industries and the public sector investment in developing countries. It proposes policies and a programme of action for creating conditions under which domestic savings, farm-level investments and investment in agro-industries are united in a self-perpetuating, virtuous cycle that can be described as ‘save -invest and grow’.

    This guidance document aims to assist investment project formulation practitioners in incorporating climate change considerations into agricultural investment projects and programmes. The main focus is on project/programme formulation (i.e.identification and design), although some aspects of supervision and evaluation will also be presented. It is intended for national and international staff and consultants, as well as government staff involved in mobilizing investment for agriculture and rural development, mainly through assistance to project or programme identification, formulation and supervision. It is meant to apply to investment projects or programmes in agriculture and rural development (agriculture in the broad sense, including fisheries, livestock and forestry). It can also be used for stand-alone climate change projects or programmes; however, for most stand-alone climate change projects/programmes, there are specific guidelines provided by their funding agencies and other d evelopment partners.

    In recent years, private equity funds that invest a substantial part or all of their capital in primary agriculture have increased both in number and volume globally. Investment in primary agriculture is an emerging asset class among private equity funds and other institutional investors, one that has attracted increasing attention following the commodity price spikes and associated warnings on food security from 2007 to 2008. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is now considering investment in such funds as part of its operations. The purpose of this study, conducted under the FAO/EBRD cooperation, is to help the EBRD understand and assess the benefits and risks of investment in primary agriculture, in particular through private equity funds, in selected countries which are significant producers of agricultural commodities.
