From Grants to Growth

Global food systems are under immense pressure. They fail to nourish the world equitably, contribute to biodiversity loss and climate change, and often marginalize the very farmers who sustain them. A growing body of evidence shows that agroecological enterprises (AEEs)—locally rooted businesses applying the 13 principles of agroecology—can drive systemic transformation.

These enterprises regenerate soils and ecosystems, strengthen local food markets, and provide sustainable livelihoods. Yet, despite their potential, AEEs face systemic barriers to growth: fragmented support ecosystems, limited access to finance, and a lack of investment readiness.

This session will explore how diverse stakeholders can collaborate to mobilize financial and non-financial resources for agroecological enterprises—bridging the gap between local action and systemic change

This session is hosted by Biovision at the Climate Hub Davos.
