Food Systems Integrated Program
The Food Systems Integrated Program aims to catalyze a transformation toward sustainable, nature-positive, resilient, and pollution-reduced food systems. It supports countries in shifting agricultural practices, improving value chains, and reducing the environmental footprint of food production. The program further expanded its involvement in the aquaculture and livestock sectors, and places a stronger emphasis on private sector engagement and mobilization of private capital into food systems transformation.

FOLUR
Building on the lessons learned from the RFS and GGP programs, the GEF significantly expanded its ambition during GEF-7 with the launch of Food Systems, Land Use and Restoration (FOLUR). The FOLUR program, adopted a truly integrated approach to transforming food systems. FOLUR Impact Program embodied an integrated approach, mobilizing diverse actors across multiple scales to deliver concrete actions on both the production and demand sides of the food supply chains. It mobilized diverse actors across 27 countries to implement sustainable land-use practices and promote responsible production and consumption in key commodity value chains such as palm oil, cocoa, coffee, and beef.
