journal contribution
posted on 2025-03-24, 17:07authored byPeter Elwin
Planet Tracker is a nonprofit think tank focused on using finance to transform economic systems and address nature-related risks. The food system is a major contributor to climate change, biodiversity loss, and inefficiency, with overuse of land for meat production. Private finance plays a significant role, but only 2% of climate finance targets the food sector. Solutions include responsible supply chains, reducing food waste, cutting methane emissions, and supporting sustainable agriculture. Transforming the food system can mitigate climate impacts, restore nature, and promote health.
