Feeding the Future: How Science and Investment Can Shape the Agri-Food Systems Transition

Food security isn’t just about producing more food. It’s about fixing systemic imbalances across the entire value chain, from production and supply chains to consumer behaviour and environmental impact. 

In this conversation, Professor Shenggen Fan, Executive Chair of the World AgriFood Innovation (WAFI) Conference Advisory Committee, and Climate Bonds CEO Sean Kidney explore how science, policy and capital can work together to reshape the global food system. From tackling hidden hunger to optimising supply chains and mobilising investment, they discuss how coordinated action can deliver both social impact and financial opportunity.
