Series: Joint Multilateral Development Bank Pavilion Financing the Agrifood Transition 28 October 2026 Armenia The agrifood system is one of the most strongly linked activities to nature – it is both highly dependent on, and highly impactful on, biological diversity and ecosystem services. While mounting evidence shows that the agricultural practices that work to conserve or restore the natural systems on which food production relies can be immediately low cost, and even profit-enhancing in the medium and long term, the agricultural transition has been slower to advance than ideal. Can finance contribute to accelerating its pace? What products and transactional structures do investors or corporates have available to target improved outcomes? What outcomes should be targeted? And, what inputs, outputs, or outcomes can and should be monitored across different time horizons, and by whom? This panel seeks to address these questions in conversation with multiple players in the financial ecosystem, based on their own past experiences and new innovations.
