Responsible investment for resilient and sustainable food systems, with a focus on agrifood enterprises and value chains
2020Also available in:
No results found.Investing in agricultural and food-systems transformation is vital, especially to mitigate the short- and long-term economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. It is crucial to ensure a sustainable and inclusive recovery from COVID-19 to safeguard and accelerate countries’ progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to strengthen the sector’s resilience to future shocks and crises. Underinvestment in food and agriculture has long been a bottleneck to value chain development, and the pandemic-induced slowdown has further slashed both public and private investment. This is all the more reason to focus on investments that are responsible and make food systems more inclusive, resilient and sustainable. Responsible investment in agriculture should strengthen primary producers and connect them to the upstream and downstream operators along the food value chain. -

Based on the FAO’s latest forecast, world cereal production in 2020 is set at 2 790 million tonnes, which would surpass the record high reached in 2019 by as much as 3 percent (81.3 million tonnes) and which would be 5 percent above the five-year average from 2015–2019. The forecast is based on near-average supply prospects in the new season, which, however, remain uncertain due to possible climatic shocks and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impact. In many parts of the world, local markets are bracing for the looming impacts of COVID-19 amid uncertainties related to demand, logistics and even access to food. Close monitoring of the market will be necessary for the next several months. -
