Good Food Finance Network announces new engagement forum for food systems
The Good Food Finance Network (GFFN) is a multi-stakeholder collaborative innovation platform, working to develop the critical innovations that will allow sustainable food system finance to become the mainstream standard. Their efforts in 2021 and 2022 – including organizing high level and working level events at COP26 in Glasgow – have led to the creation of an engagement forum for multilateral organizations, NGOs, charities, financial institutions, investors and agribusinesses to identify, develop, deploy, and mainstream the optimal financial instruments, strategies and enabling policies needed to generate food systems that sustain the health of people, nature and economies.
