The event marks the official global launch of the Transformative Land Investment project. Funded by SDC, the project is led by a consortium of Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), the Center for People and Forests (RECOFTC), SNV Netherlands Development Organization, Land Equity International, including research and business development practitioners in Ethiopia, Mozambique, Ghana, Laos and Myanmar.
Transformative Land Investment works with investors and other stakeholders to support adoption of inclusive business and agroecology practices. By securing land tenure and livelihoods of 300,000 rural people, the Transformative Land Investment Initiative will contribute to Switzerland’s global effort towards more sustainable food systems.
