We are excited to share insights from the July 2023 report by Transformational Investing in Food Systems (TIFS). This comprehensive study highlights the incredible potential of impact investing in transforming food systems in East Africa.
By analyzing 23 investment funds, TIFS uncovers opportunities to drive positive change through:
– Agroecological innovations
– Regenerative approaches
– Indigenous foodways
Key Takeaways:
1. Mapping Outcomes: Understanding the real impacts of investment on food systems.
2. Engaging Stakeholders: Collaborating with investors, entrepreneurs, and local communities to enhance collective impacts.
3. Educational Initiatives: Educating investors on values-aligned opportunities for significant impact.
🤝 With innovative strategies that integrate multiple forms of support and empower community and local businesses, we can build a sustainable African agribusiness sector together.
The report also introduces the Systems Investing Assessment (SIA), a systematic procedure used to recognize, analyze, evaluate, manage, and monitor the potential societal effects of a project, including both positive and negative outcomes. This tool is highly valuable for AlphaSeeds and our investment portfolio.
