This briefing calls on governments to mobilise finance for the large-scale transitions needed towards climate-friendly food and farming. This will involve switching funding and subsidy support from globalised, fossil-fuel intensive, long-distance linear supply chains to re-localised agri-food systems; funding transitions to low-meat diets and agroecological livestock production; taxing financial speculations and the windfall profits of agri-food corporations; reducing the gross inequalities associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in and between countries; a global wealth tax; and financing democracy for climate repair.
