Resumen
Descripción
Investing in agricultural and food-systems transformation is vital, especially to mitigate the short- and long-term economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. It is crucial to ensure a sustainable and inclusive recovery from COVID-19 to safeguard and accelerate countries’ progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to strengthen the sector’s resilience to future shocks and crises. Underinvestment in food and agriculture has long been a bottleneck to value chain development, and the pandemic-induced slowdown has further slashed both public and private investment. This is all the more reason to focus on investments that are responsible and make food systems more inclusive, resilient and sustainable. Responsible investment in agriculture should strengthen primary producers and connect them to the upstream and downstream operators along the food value chain.
