Private Funding for Food Security: The Investment Sharing Facility

  • Date: 13 July 2015, 10:00am - 12:30pm
  • Location: Radisson Sholla 2

Organised by

The Global Crop Diversity Trust

Summary

SDG Goal 2 calls to end hunger; Target 2.5 aims to conserve crop diversity by 2020, a prerequisite for food security. The Global Crop Diversity Trust safeguards crop diversity in international seed collections, funding them sustainably. It has now teamed up with Deutsche Bank to attract private money, launching the Investment Sharing Facility, a social impact investment fund. Institutions and households invest into an equity mutual fund complying with environmental, social and governance criteria. The Crop Trust receives part of the returns to secure global crop diversity for current and future generations. The event will introduce this innovative financial instrument.
