FEEDING A SHRINKING PLANET<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

HAS BECOME A BIG TICKET <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AGENDA ITEM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For 110 years it’s been the mission of the Rockefeller Foundation to promote the well-being of humanity throughout the world. But this year something has changed. The existential threat of a changing climate has become so great that they’ve evolved their primary focus to become a climate-first<\/em> foundation. The reality is the climate crisis is a human crisis, so this all makes sense. Looking ahead as conditions and impacts worsen, benefactors like The Rockefeller Foundation seek strategies to stabilize the planet and improve the human condition in one fell swoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We’ll see climate action in many forms over the next decade, but what feeds us may just possess the greatest potential to drive lasting change across large and diverse populations. Food and its production impact everyone; everyday. In fact, improving food systems and supporting the proper management of the resources required to produce more food in the years ahead is a pillar of the Rockefeller Foundation’s Climate-First mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

From reducing externalities, protecting biodiversity, evolving extractive and input heavy production models, promoting ample nutrient security, banking carbon and reducing wasted food – improving the food system is chock-full of opportunity where sound investment leads to actions with mutually-beneficial rewards for people and planet. It’s clear that actions to improve food for more has potential for sustained impact on all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Climate change is already hurting the most vulnerable first and worst. If the world continues with business as usual, and the planet grows warmer by 3 degrees or more, life will become unbearable for many of the people we serve.”<\/em><\/p>– Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

BIG INVESTMENT IN RESPONSIBLE FOOD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a storied history supporting the greater good, The Rockefeller Foundation investments in food-as-climate-&-social-action<\/em><\/strong> will cast a long-shadow over the future of giving. Furthermore, documenting the lasting wins for the poorest to the wealthiest populations will influence State sponsored resources and traditional investment dollars seeking the mutually-beneficial returns from taking food actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
