Welcome to the Institute
The UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute provides our best thinking on the world’s most important sustainability challenges and opportunities. It convenes a diverse group of leading voices to explore the problems and propose potential solutions, and in so doing seeks to catalyze collective action and capital toward a more sustainable future.
Transitioning agriculture from sustainability liability to asset
The Green Revolution confounded Malthusian predictions of widespread food scarcity, but revolutions are rarely black and white. Today the food system generates detrimental impacts on health, climate, and nature—creating negative externalities to the tune of USD 15tr every year (2020 USD), or 12% of global GDP. The agri-food industry is now entering a new phase—what we call, Green Revolution 2.0. This report analyzes the solutions that characterize it, and the role of capital providers in facilitating their development.
