LARC39: Financing to Transform Agrifood Systems in Latin America and the Caribbean
March 11, 2026

Agrifood systems in Latin America and the Caribbean are crucial for economic development, employment, and food security. However, financing remains insufficient, hindered by declining development finance, limited public agricultural investment, and unequal access to capital, disproportionately affecting small-scale producers and vulnerable communities.

This session explores mobilizing more and better financing through innovative instruments, international partnerships, and investment platforms like FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, aiming to support sustainable, resilient, and inclusive agrifood systems.
