More than three billion US dollars have been pledged for the agriculture and food sector since the start of the COP. This figure does not include all the money that could flow into the sector. For example, the public-private partnership Africa and Middle East SAFE Initiative pledged an additional ten billion. These are to be leveraged from private capital, among other sources. SAFE stands for Scale-up Agriculture and Food Systems for Economic Development and the billions are to flow into food security and livelihoods in rural areas, among other things. The Global Green Growth Institute will coordinate the initiative.
