CRAF seeks climate smart transformation of Africa’s agri-food systems and the nature economy
We back start-ups that re-imagine Africa’s food systems
Even if the global economy does meet its net zero ambitions by 2050, we’ll still overshoot 1.5 degrees for at least a generation. Under that kind of stress, nature-including productive land and water, can unlikely continue to support our economic and basic life needs.
Africa is particularly vulnerable. So, we start right now to develop self-sufficiency and resilience against climate shocks, while finding our way back to more sustainable ways of producing and consuming.
We are an impact fund seeking seed stage African startups with scalable solutions to the climate crisis in agri-food tech and the nature economy.
Today’s Global Food System is Worth $8 Trillion Per Year
It accounts for 10% of the global economy. Much of it contributes to climate change, destruction of biodiversity, unstable food prices and low paid jobs.
We need to reimagine how food is produced & consumed.
