FUTURE LANDSCAPES PROYECT
Description
Climate change is disrupting Latin America’s agricultural systems – a disruption amplified by COVID-19 as value chains have been upended, driving producers into unsustainable production methods. Through an improved enabling environment for Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), the project will transform 3M ha of agricultural land into regenerative landscapes and benefit climate resilience, biodiversity, productivity, and producers. The project will increase knowledge of EbA agriculture practices and Green Recovery by analyzing challenges and achievements while strengthening regulatory frameworks which promote EbA and eliminating disincentives as populations return from pandemic isolation. The project will develop and test 13 business models with climate and agricultural data and will implement at least five financial instruments/financial risk transfer solutions to enable financing and investment in EbA practices. At least 7,219 producers will adopt these approaches and a multi-stakeholder platform will facilitate public-private-community coordination and promote rapid scaling of adoption.
Latin America's ecosystems, including extensive forests, tropical grasslands, and river basins, are fundamental for food production, food security, the economy, and the global ecological and climate balance. This region, a leader in food exports and responsible for safeguarding 30% of the world’s water reserves, faces increasing threats from climate change and environmental degradation.
In this context, the Future Landscapes project was born.
A leading initiative in Latin America with which we aim to transform 3 million hectares, currently used for conventional ranchingand agriculture, into regenerative landscapes through the implementation of regenerative practices and Ecosystem-based Adaptation measures (EbA), providing a comprehensive approach to the challenges of climate change, food production demands, and environmental degradation.
Future Landscapes is a six-year project (2022-2028), funded by the German government’s International Climate Initiative (IKI) and implemented by The Nature Conservancy in partnership with the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), and Nestlé.
Our main goal:
Benefit biodiversity, increase productivity, and improve the well-being of producers by promoting practices that achieve a balance between agricultural production, environmental conservation, and climate resilience.
Through Future Landscapes, we have the opportunity to address these threats:
Promoting a collective vision to transform the region’s agriculture and livestock where:
3 million hectares
in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Peru.
