The Triple Gap in Finance for Agrifood Systems: Annexes

The document outlines the methodological frameworks used to quantify climate finance needs for agrifood systems. It establishes a comprehensive taxonomy developed by CPI and FAO covering sectors such as crop and livestock systems, forestry, fisheries, and food diets. The 'top-down' approach aggregates data from 46 publications, using seven key reports to estimate needs for 2024-2030, while the 'bottom-up' approach extrapolates data from 167 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The analysis highlights significant data gaps for the post-2030 period and notes that agrifood system finance needs in low-income countries represent a larger relative proportion of their economy, averaging 2.7% of GDP.

• CPI and FAO developed a harmonized taxonomy for agrifood systems that expands beyond traditional AFOLU classifications to include 'biodiversity, land, and marine ecosystems' to support systemic change.
• The top-down methodology reviewed 46 reports, but only seven provided quantified assessments of future investment needs that met the criteria for recency (2019-24), comprehensiveness, primary data, and granularity.
• There is a critical lack of data for climate finance needs beyond 2030; only two of the seven primary reports used in the top-down approach provided estimates for the 2031-50 period.
• The bottom-up approach analyzed 167 NDCs, but found that many lack disaggregated financial figures at the sectoral level, leading to a likely underrepresentation of the actual costs of climate action in agrifood systems.
