Co-hosted by MAPA and IUCN at the Agriculture Pavilion (Agri Zone), this session brings together agriculture and finance decision-makers, producer organisations, development banks, investors and restoration networks to identify finance-ready, nature-positive pathways for integrated agricultural landscape restoration. The discussion will surface practical instruments—repurposing agricultural support, blended-finance structures, public-private partnerships, green/impact vehicles and results-based approaches—alongside enabling policies and safeguards that ensure social equity and biodiversity outcomes.
The format includes brief opening remarks (MAPA/IUCN), country perspectives, a dialogue with producers and practitioners, and a finance roundtable featuring development banks and impact investors, followed by an interactive Q&A and closing. Expected takeaways are a shared direction of travel to embed restoration in agricultural and finance strategies; clearer options to mobilise and align public and private capital; and reinforced linkages among national programmes (including Brazil’s RAIZ), FFF and AFR100, showcase finance sectors work tough KfW bank —with next steps toward concrete pilots, partnership commitments and policy alignment across climate, biodiversity and land agendas.
The event features the participation of FGV Sao Paulo Law School researcher Marcelo Behar, who is the Special Envoy for Bioeconomy at COP30.
