LARC39: Financiamento para transformar os sistemas agroalimentares na América Latina e no Caribe
March 11, 2026

Agro-food systems are crucial for economic development, employment, and food security in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, insufficient funding, limited public agricultural investment, and unequal capital access disproportionately affect small producers and vulnerable communities.

This session explores mobilizing more and better finance through innovative instruments, international partnerships, and platforms like FAO's Hand-in-Hand Initiative. The aim is to foster sustainable, resilient, and inclusive agro-food systems. 🌱
