14 May 2025, London <\/strong>\u2014 New research released today confirms that the world\u2019s agriculture and food systems remain chronically underfunded for a climate transition. Investment has still not reached the speed or scale required to address the devastating impacts of the climate crisis on global agrifood systems.

The analysis by the ClimateShot Investor Coalition<\/a> (CLIC) finds that agrifood systems receive 7.2% of global climate finance, just short of USD 95 billion annually. This is merely 8.3% of the USD 1.1 trillion in climate funding required annually by 2030 to reduce the sector\u2019s impact on deforestation, emissions, biodiversity loss, and to adapt to rapid environmental changes that impact global food security, production, and supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Landscape of Climate Finance for Agrifood Systems 2025<\/a> (Agrifood Landscape) analyzes climate finance to global agrifood systems in 2021\/22 [1], leveraging Climate Policy Initiative\u2019s expertise in tracking investment flows across sources, uses, sectors, regions, and instruments. While headline figures show positive improvements \u2013 flows have risen 332% compared to the USD 28.5 billion recorded in 2019\/20 \u2013, this progress builds on a low base, and the underlying data reveals that growth has been concentrated in upper-middle and high-income economies.

A key driver of growth has been a sharp rise in spending in the EU and China, which together accounted for 90% of domestic funding. Excluding these two regions, the increase in total agrifood funding would drop to a much lower 62%. Funding remained lacking in key agrarian economies in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, where real and perceived risks, limited bankable projects, and a lack of de-risking tools continue to deter investment at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also found that energy-related projects, such as agrivoltaics and biomass, continued to attract the highest levels of investment. On-farm and land-based activities, such as soil carbon sequestration, sustainable livestock management, and agroforestry remain severely underfunded. Currently, all agrifood sectors are underfunded to be compatible with a net zero transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
