In our latest Member Good Practice Spotlight, we recognise AGRI3 Fund for embedding biodiversity considerations into its investment approach and mobilising private capital towards nature-positive agriculture and forestry outcomes.
AGRI3 Fund is designed to mobilise private capital toward sustainable agriculture, forest protection and restoration, and improving livelihoods, with biodiversity embedded as a core investment objective. The fund integrates nature considerations throughout due diligence and investment decisions, focusing on mitigating deforestation and conversion risks, and ecosystem restoration potential.
Recent investments channelled capital into regenerative farming and forest conservation in emerging markets, each backed by project-specific biodiversity targets and regular monitoring. AGRI3 also supports sectoral progress through coalitions and partnerships with, amongst others, UNEP and Climate Bonds Initiative.
Despite challenges such as limited metrics and available data, AGRI3 tackles barriers through collaboration with its partner financial institutions, technical assistance, pragmatic assessments, and binding biodiversity targets that ensure accountability.
“Finance must mainstream biodiversity, moving beyond risk management toward opportunity.”
– AGRI3 Fund
