Register now to attend the AGRF in person or online.
There is a need to scale-up and accelerate finance for agriculture and food systems globally, and to shift them to a low-carbon and climate-resilient pathway by 2030.
In collaboration with AGRA’s Agribusiness Dealroom, as part of the Africa Food Systems Forum (AGRF), the CLIC Connector is organizing the session Climate-proofing our food for the future to showcase eight agribusinesses to interested investors and funders.
They will also share information on the climate and nature-based aspects of their work with smallholder farmers and other stakeholders in agrifood supply chains.
Learn more about CLIC or email for more information on the event.
