100 Million Farmers: Transitioning towards net-zero, nature positive food systems

100 Million Farmers is a multistakeholder platform catalysing action to transition towards net-zero, nature-positive food systems by 2030. It sets out a shared global ambition while supporting local solutions that incentivise farmers and empower consumers to place climate, nature and resilience at the core of the food economyTransforming food systems: an imperative and an opportunityAgricultural systems are increasingly being acknowledged for their unique potential to address global challenges. Food system actors can feed a growing population while leading the fight against climate change and nature loss by adopting practices that not only reduce emissions but also sequester additional carbon from the atmosphere. Mainstreaming regenerative and climate-smart agricultural practices, which are at the centre of this process, can also create additional co-benefits, such as increased socioeconomic resilience, improved livelihoods and enhanced soil and water health. The cumulation of these benefits, described as a “carbon+” approach, would ensure the health of both people and the planet.Changing the way we produce and consume food could create USD 4.5 trillion a year in new business opportunities and 191 million new jobs by 2030.Towards net-zero, nature-positive food systemsAmbitious and integrated action across sectors is needed to rebuild the food and agriculture economy with climate, nature and resilience at its core. Critical to this action is the development and deployment of market-based incentives – including, but not limited to carbon markets – that signal to actors along supply chains that there is value beyond productivity alone.100 Million Farmers has three bold objectives which place the farmer at the centre of the transition and recognise the need to empower consumer demand:1. Demonstrate the ability of food systems to shift away from significant emissions and nature degradation towards climate mitigation, adaptation and nature restoration, through cost-effective and practical solutions.2. ...
