00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:03.210
- Is there enough investment
in food system transformation?

2
00:00:03.210 --> 00:00:04.560
- No, there isn't.

3
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:06.300
Everybody pretty much agrees

4
00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:10.110
that there's vastly insufficient.

5
00:00:10.110 --> 00:00:14.670
Just to give a number,
only 3% of public finance

6
00:00:14.670 --> 00:00:16.890
goes to food systems transformation,

7
00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:19.980
whereas food systems make out for 33%

8
00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:21.810
of greenhouse gas emissions.

9
00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:23.640
So clear there's a gap there,

10
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.100
and there's also a gap in
research and development.

11
00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:29.880
We need to develop new
approaches that help us adapt

12
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:31.320
and be resilience to climate.

13
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.620
Of the $60 billion a
year that go to research

14
00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:38.730
and development in agriculture,
only 7% are actually

15
00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:41.550
aligning food and
agriculture with climate.

16
00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:43.500
- It's very true in Africa
and East Africa in particular.

17
00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:47.790
Only 5% of commercial credit
goes into agriculture,

18
00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:50.640
but it's accountable for
over 25% of GDP and jobs.

19
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.200
So we must make sure that we are tapping

20
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:53.250
into these commercial pools

21
00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:55.370
of capital to transform the system.

22
00:00:55.370 --> 00:00:58.037
