Executive Training on Sustainable Investments in Agriculture

CCSI’s Executive Training on Sustainable Investments in Agriculture provides an interdisciplinary approach to addressing the challenges and opportunities of agricultural investments. The program is designed to equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to address some of the key challenges posed by international investments in agriculture, and to encourage a rich dialogue about practices from around the globe.

Creating an Enabling Environment for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (E-Learning)

CCSI partnered with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to develop an e-learning course, ‘Creating an enabling environment for responsible investment in agriculture and food systems,’ to provide an overview of the Committee on World Food Security’s Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI), highlight the features and key players of an enabling environment that promotes responsible investment in agriculture and food security, and unravel the important role that this investment plays in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Land Investments and Human Rights

When not designed or implemented carefully, large-scale investment in agriculture can pose risks related to human rights and land rights. These risks are most acutely felt by rights-holders, but they can also have reputational, financial or other implications for governments and investors.
