100 Million Farmers is a multistakeholder platform catalysing action towards net-zero and nature-positive food systems by 2030. It supports local solutions that incentivize farmers and empower consumers to place climate, nature and resilience at the core of the food economy. 100 Million Farmers works to identify transformative agricultureand finance pathways to incentivize conservation agriculture.
100 Million Farmers supports a global agenda for the adoption of regenerative agriculture and climate adaptation practices at the farm level. 100 Million Farmers operates through regional and national coalitions that sets out a shared global ambition while
Food systems generate approximately 1/3 of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet it only receives less than 4% of climate finance. However, farmer finance has the potential to generate $4.5 Trillion in new market opportunities each year and 20% emissions reduction needed to reach 2050 Paris climate goals.
95% of our food supply relies on healthy soils, yet nearly 1/3 of agricultural land globally is degraded. Understanding the components of healthy soil, including stored organic carbon, nutrient density, biodiversity and water retention will transform the food system into a carbon sink rather than an emitter.
100MF works to bridge the knowledge gap on why and how soil matters, focusing on science-based solutions that foster better and more efficient implementation, on-farm management, policy-making, partnerships for healthy soils.
Individual farmers face many barriers – particularly economic risks – when adopting more sustainable production practices, technologies and inputs. 100MF seeks to accelerate the transition by proposing a clear roadmap for more effective collective action and finding breakthrough models of financing and collaboration to support farmers.
