🧑🌾 Smallholder farmers are at the heart of Southeast Asia’s agricultural sector. Addressing the dual goals of regenerating our food systems and improving the resilience of smallholders in the region is not impossible. Many compelling, effective, and contextually sound solutions already exist today – what is missing is intentional, targeted financing. Catalytic financing from across the spectrum of capital, including the private, public, and philanthropic sectors, is crucial to supporting the development and growth of key solutions that cater to specific, day-to-day needs and ground challenges that smallholder farmers face. Together, we can create a sustainable tomorrow for all. 💡 Learn more in the report: https://lnkd.in/guxGQp7h The Centre for Impact Investing and Practices (CIIP) is a non-profit established by Temasek Trust to foster impact investing and practices in Asia and beyond. The Philanthropy Asia Alliance is a Temasek Trust initiative dedicated to catalysing collaborative philanthropy in Asia through dynamic multi-sector partnerships. #CatalyticFunding #Agriculture #Farming #SoutheastAsia #Partnerships
Southeast Asia is expected to become the world's fourth-largest economy by 2030. As it continues along its trajectory of growth, the region will experience rapid demographic and economic shifts. Food consumption is expected to increase by 40% by 2050, further intensifying demand for agricultural products. However, Southeast Asia’s agri-food system remains fragile. It faces fragmented smallholder farms, outdated farming practices, environmental degradation, and volatility brought upon by climate change. The combination of these issues needs to be addressed urgently. The Centre for Impact Investing and Practices (CIIP), a non-profit established by Temasek Trust, has partnered with Wavemaker Impact, supported by Philanthropy Asia Alliance, to publish the report “Seeding the Future: Transforming Smallholder Farms for a Sustainable Tomorrow”: https://lnkd.in/guxGQp7h More than 30 organisations – including impact investors and philanthropic organisations, solution providers, development programme owners and regional and international organisations – contributed their insights. Key takeaways from the report include: 💡 Solutions need to be right-sized, right-priced, and targeted well. 💡 Impact should be at the core of all investing decisions. 💡 More investment needs to go toward the agriculture, food, and land use sectors. 💡 Cross-sector collaborations are crucial to break the cycle. 🌟 We invite you to reach out to us if you would like to work together on seeding the future for a sustainable tomorrow! #CIIP #WavemakerImpact #PAA #SIAW2024 #SustainableAgriculture #SmallholderFarmers

🦜🦦🌟 Empowering the next generation of conservation leaders is key to bringing about transformative change for a sustainable planet. “Their innovative ideas and collaborative spirit will challenge the status quo and ignite transformative action,” says Dr. Jessica Lee from Mandai Nature, part of the Temasek Trust ecosystem. The wildlife conservation organisation hosted an experiential learning session at Bird Paradise for 20 Asian youth climate changemakers as part of The Earthshot Prize Asia Youth Leaders Programme. 🌏 Dr. Lee spoke about Mandai Nature’s wildlife conservation efforts, as well as how climate and biodiversity are interconnected and hence must be tackled holistically. Mandai Nature is committed to investing in the potential and capabilities of youth who are passionate about nature conservation. Initiatives such as the CITES Global Youth Network provide a platform for meaningful youth engagement, by building a network for conservation and action around crucial issues like the illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade. As a Global Alliance Founding Partner of The Earthshot Prize, Temasek Trust and our ecosystem entities championed climate changemakers and innovators in the lead-up to and at #EarthshotWeek.
