Financial Backbones: Capital Orchestration for Systems Transformation

How do we invest in agricultural resilience?

Too often, investment flows follow capital availability rather than purpose. But what if we started from a shared vision of the impact we seek, and aligned the right forms of capital to realise it?

When it comes to smallholder farmers in emerging markets, the investment opportunity extends far beyond direct lending. It’s about financing the full ecosystem around them: infrastructure, services, value chains, and the enabling conditions that allows farmers to build climate resilience and increase incomes.

This is where systemic investment approaches through Strategic Capital Orchestration can make the difference.

This thinking is explored in a new publication from the TransCap Initiative, co-authored with 27 members of the TransCap Community (including Barbara Visser, Chief Operating Officer at IDH Investment Management).

When you are in the investment space looking to engage more strategically in food and agricultural systems, this is essential reading.
