SCF solutions could help globally by offering alternatives to cover increasing upfront costs for production. World inflation has been increasing consistently due to production costs and energy prices. Moreover, climate change effects such as floods and droughts have increased food insecurity which further threatens the sustainability of food production systems by destroying lands, livestock, crops, and food supplies. Finally, The war in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia are disrupting shipments and production delivery of nearly 30% of world wheat exports and 18% of corn. Finally, there are opportunities to use SCF with a climate, gender, racial equity or development lens to address global crises and structural inequities within our current financial system.
