Food, Land & Agriculture
Why transformation matters
Food, land and agriculture underpin our economy, health and culture and are entering a period of profound disruption. Climate impacts, nature loss and resource constraints are converging with rapid innovation in food production, land management and bio‑based systems. These forces are reshaping how food and land systems function.
Businesses face increasing exposure to risks linked to food security, land use, ecosystem degradation and supply chains but also to significant transition opportunities.
What is holding progress back
Progress is constrained by fragmented supply chains, misaligned incentives, limited finance for regenerative practices and policy frameworks struggling to balance productivity, livelihoods and environmental outcomes. These challenges span sectors and geographies.
How we accelerate change
- Coordinating action across value chains, from producers and farmers to global businesses and investors, including through Food & Land Accelerators that help align incentives, share risk and support coordinated investment.
- Providing foresight and independent insight, through horizon scanning and research that explores market‑driven disruption, emerging risks and opportunities, and informs public debate, policy development and market shaping.
- Testing and advancing new models, including regenerative and nature‑positive approaches and emerging production, retail and land‑use models that respond to environmental limits, social pressures and technological change.
- Aligning finance, policy and incentives, connecting business action with enabling frameworks to support long‑term transitions, food security and resilient land use across sectors and geographies.
