Unlocking Finance and Procurement for a Nature-Positive Food System Transition

With a focus on beef and soy, two major drivers of land use change, this high-level discussion will highlight how financial innovations and supply chain partnerships can support farmers to produce on already-cleared lands, while protecting forests, savannas, and other critical ecosystems in Latin America. Government, finance, and private sector leaders will share insights from active regional initiatives — including the Pará Sustainable Cattle Program, VISEC and CCAT — to demonstrate how the private sector can support investment and procurement approaches that align with global climate targets, biodiversity goals, and corporate sustainability commitments.
