?? Trillion-dollar opportunities in agrifood and climate are within our lifetime. The biggest innovations of the next decade won’t just change industries—they’ll redefine how we feed, fuel, and sustain the planet. ???? But to capture them, we need capital structures built for the Future-Proof Zone. In my latest piece for AgFunderNews, I explore how patient capital and early-stage consolidation can create the next category-defining companies in agrifood and climate. And introduce the "Future Proof Zone" for risk capital. ?? What’s the boldest idea in climate you think deserves serious capital? Drop it in the comments! ?? ??

We spoke with Ricardo Hernández and Kathleen Denya about the good work being done by the North Carolina State University CEA Coalition. To meet market needs, the coalition addresses two problems: 1?? The traditional research pipeline is too slow—by the time discoveries reach growers, they’re often outdated. 2?? No single discipline has all the answers. CEA isn’t just horticulture—it’s engineering, data analytics, climate science, and even aerospace modeling. Want to learn more? Check out our lates article: https://lnkd.in/e66zEiNR

American Farmland Trust has released policy recommendations to advance agrivoltaics with a farm-centered definition for agrivoltaics and related incentives to encourage the advancement of more solar projects that keep land in production, benefitting farmers, farmland, and rural communities! “The idea of agrivoltaics is rapidly gaining attention and interest from farmers, ranchers, elected officials, developers, and many other leaders across the country, but up until now there has not been a recommended standard definition to ensure the ‘agri’ in ‘agrivoltaic’,” said Samantha Levy, AFT’s Senior Policy Manager for Conservation and Energy, in a statement. “With this new statutory definition and guidance for incentive program design, we hope to increase confidence that, at all levels of government, policymakers can catalyze the growth of this promising new strategy in ways that will truly keep land in production as solar development continues.” “AFT staff have seen firsthand how true agrivoltaic projects can strengthen the economic viability of farms and ranches while at the same time increasing domestic energy production and keeping land in farming.” said AFT National Smart Solar Director Ethan Winter. “AFT’s goals with this work are to ensure that agrivoltaic arrays are designed to maximize the success of farmers working within them, to enhance farm economies, and to expand the breadth of agricultural production systems integrated into solar arrays—from on-farm systems, to community solar, to large-scale utility projects.” Read the complete release and dig into the recommendations on American Farmland Trust's website here >> https://lnkd.in/gJeJ9hae #agriculture #energy #solar #farm #farming #solarfarming #agrivoltaics #agribusiness #land #landuse #conservation #ecovoltaics #dualuse

The world will need to produce up to 70% more #food by 2050. Restoring degraded #land will be vital, says Ibrahim Thiaw, Secretary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification the UN convention fighting #desertification. The World Economic Forum’s 100 Million Farmers initiative aims to harness the leadership of businesses, governments, #farmers and NGOs to promote the transition to #regenerative, climate-smart #agriculture.

Great read about black #farms and their journey over time - injustices and land grabs through USDA lawsuits. Given prices of food rising sharply, global supply chain interruptions and the technological revolution - it is important to observe the re-emerging role of agricultural prevalence in the US, especially from black farmers.

Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit: Continent to connect 300 million to electricity by 2030 in new ambitious and collaborative initiative that kicked off on Monday: Connecting 300 million Africans to #electricity within the next five years is within reach through collaborative effort and commitment to implementation, participants at the #AfricaEnergySummit in #DaresSalaam, #Tanzania, heard on Monday. The summit is organized by the Government of Tanzania and #Mission300, an unprecedented collaboration between the #AfricanDevelopmentBank Group, the #WorldBank Group and global partners to address #Africa’s #electricity access gap using new #technology and #innovative financing. Nearly 600 million Africans lack electricity, a critical resource for economic development and job creation.

Each country identifies specific policy measures to address constraints across the energy sector in its National Energy Compact and sets its own targets based on its unique context. The National Compacts are fully led and developed by the governments. Countries are encouraged to hold public consultations with civil society and other relevant stakeholders to inform the development of the Compacts. The National Energy Compacts set ambitious targets with timelines for implementation to: 1. Expand energy infrastructure at competitive costs, 2. Leverage the benefits of regional power integration, 3. Embrace distributed renewable energy and clean cooking solutions as critical elements of the access agenda, 4. Foster greater private sector participation to unlock additional resources, and 5. Strengthen utilities.
