INCREASING CIRCULARITY

Forty percent of globally produced food is lost (at production, harvest, storage and processing stages) or wasted (at the retail and consumer level), thus costing the global economy more..

URBAN FOOD SYSTEMS

Many cities are faced with the challenge of rising urban food insecurity and growing food waste. In 2015, 19.8% of the urban population was moderately food insecure and 7.3% were severely food..

Challenges

These interconnected challenges affect food and water security, agricultural productivity, water availability and quality, food handling, storage and distribution, urban resilience, consumption patterns, and the management of waste and wastewater.

Climate Crisis

Rising temperatures and the increasing frequency and intensity of droughts, floods and other extreme weather events are placing growing pressure on food production, water resources, infrastructure and ecosystems.

Biodiversity Loss

The rapid loss of species, habitats and ecosystem functions is weakening the natural systems that support food production, water regulation, soil health and climate resilience.

Pollution and Ecosystem Degradation

Pollution of land, water and air, together with the degradation of forests, rangelands, wetlands, rivers and watersheds, is undermining ecosystem health and reducing the availability and quality of natural resources.

Demographic and Urban Change

Population growth, rapid urbanisation, changing diets and consumption patterns are increasing demand for food, water, energy and services while generating greater volumes of waste and wastewater.

Economic and Social Pressures

Hunger, malnutrition, poverty, inequality, conflict, economic instability and market disruptions are increasing vulnerability and limiting access to safe, nutritious food and reliable water services.

Clients and Partners

We work with innovators, policymakers, businesses, researchers and civil-society leaders across countries, sectors and institutions to advance circular, climate-resilient and nature-positive food and water systems. Through collaboration, we help shape enabling environments, strengthen partnerships, influence practices and support reforms that improve food and water security, resource efficiency and resilience.
