SAFIN’s diverse membership and guest participants convene every year at the network’s Annual Plenary Meeting to share the latest emerging insights and nurture partnerships around their common goal of closing the capital gap in the sector. The 2023 meeting was held amid geopolitical upheaval, slowing economies, ongoing concerns about climate change and an urgent need to finance the transformation of food systems worldwide. On 30-31 October 2023, the SAFIN Secretariat hosted the event at the IFAD headquarters in Rome, Italy under the theme “From shared knowledge to collective action”. This report summarizes the key learnings from the discussion sessions of the two-day event.
