A recent study by the European Investment Bank's Advisory Services team looks at how research and innovation is being financed in the European agri-food sector, and underscores where improvements can be made. The study highlights the sector's need for more and better-tailored finance and increased innovation if it is to meet the food needs of a growing world population while continuing to respect the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The study also makes clear that the sector's slow growth, fragmentation, risk aversion, low levels of innovation spending and limited adoption of new technologies need to be addressed urgently to assure food security in the future. The report provides a clear argument for more EU support in mobilising finance for innovative companies in the European agri-food sector. Promising developments like crowdfunding, mini-bonds and advanced risk sharing mechanisms can help flow more funds to innovators and farmers. The study was carried out by InnovFin Advisory in collaboration with the support of Roland Berger and Wageningen University. 606 $aBusiness & Economics / Finance$2bisacsh 606 $aEconomics 615 7$aBusiness & Economics / Finance 615 0$aEconomics 700 $aFackelmann$b Surya$01070537 702 $aMcDonagh$b Brendan 702 $aVerbeek$b Arnold 712 02$aEuropean Investment Bank 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765744903321 996 $aFeeding Future Generations$93652654 997 $aUNINA
