Growing food in a changing climate – why your grocery bill, farmers’ futures, and community resilience are all connected?
Climate change isn’t just about polar bears or melting ice.
It’s about what’s on our plates.
Extreme weather has already pushed vegetable prices up 80% in 2022 alone.
Bananas. Wheat. Rice. Corn.
The staples of daily life are becoming harder to grow.
At the same time, climate-smart agriculture can deliver results.
Climate-smart practices helped nearly 50,000 rice farmers boost yields by over 2.6 metric tons per hectare.
Here’s the upside:
✅ Drought-resistant seeds that safeguard harvests.
✅ Regenerative practices that restore soil and cut costs.
✅ Local food systems that create jobs and resilience at home.
This isn’t about sacrifice.
It’s about securing healthier meals, affordable groceries, and stronger communities.
That’s exactly what we’ll explore at the Emerald Summit, September 19, during NYC Climate Week.
Where sustainable finance builds solutions for food, jobs, and resilience.
We’re bringing together founders/farmers, investors, and policymakers to turn innovation into action.
Not just for food security.
But for fair jobs and resilient communities.
If you’re ready to see how capital can grow solutions that nourish lives and livelihoods, this is your room.
