Large-scale transformation towards biodiversity-friendly, climate resilient agriculture through risk finance solutions and enabling policy and trade frameworks

The agricultural sector can make a major contribution to ecosystem protection. The project creates incentives for biodiversity-friendly production of coffee, cocoa and bananas and thus promotes a broad transformation to biodiverse agriculture. In comprehensive analyses, it examines starting points for financial solutions as well as the ecological, economic and political potential of change. The project develops and implements risk financing solutions for large-scale implementation of biodiversity-friendly practices. Agricultural organisations train micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in biodiverse farming practices and access to finance. Communication campaigns disseminate recommendations for policy makers, consumers and businesses to raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity for risk reduction, resilience and adaptation.
