The global food system is at a critical juncture, contributing to and suffering from the impacts of climate change. A key driver, agriculture is responsible for 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions and uses 70% of the world’s water resources.

Soils are being depleted at an alarming rate, with around 12 million hectares turning to desert each year – an area the size of Iceland. This land degradation lowers agricultural productivity and releases stored carbon, worsening climate change.

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) warns that, unchecked, 90% of the world’s soils could be degraded by 2050, further destabilizing food systems as well as increasing poverty and hunger. To reverse this, we must urgently finance a just transition that restores soil health, captures carbon and strengthens water and climate resilience.
