COP27: Rockefeller Foundation announces 10 grants to scale indigenous, regenerative ...
Foundation: Rockefeller Foundation
The UN has set a goal of producing 50% of the world's food by 2030, and the Rockefeller Foundation is putting its money where its mouth is to make that happen.
The foundation has awarded $11 million in grants to 10 organizations working to "scale up the development, data analysis, financing, and education surrounding regenerative agricultural practices, which can improve global food systems and mitigate the global food crisis," per a press release.
One of the recipients, the Meridian Institute, will use the money to build on the work of Regen10, a global coalition formed to answer the question of what it would take to produce 50% of the world's food in ways that benefit people, nature, and the climate by 2030, the New York Times reports.
"Regen10 will assist landscape leaders practicing or advancing regenerative agriculture in gaining access to financing, technical assistance, and data by bridging outcomes measurement with landscape-level demonstrations," the press release says.
Other recipients include the Naandi Foundation, which plans to use a home-grown economic model for regenerative agriculture in India as an alternative to the current system, which has resulted in 35.5 percent of children under the age of 5 being stunted and 6% being stunted, per the Times.
