This session highlights the critical role of midstream actors in transforming food systems and enhancing food security.
Despite global pledges, hunger is rising, and food systems continue to degrade the environment. Only 5% of the needed annual investment is mobilized, leaving the Global South severely underfunded.
Panelists will explore how targeted financing for small-scale producers and agrifood SMEs can drive resilience and sustainability.
Innovative financial instruments and domestic support are key to unlocking value addition and lasting food security outcomes.
