CompensACTION

The initiative CompensACTION for food security and a healthy planet was launched in July 2022 under German G7 Presidency by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) within the Food Security Working Group.

 

Its vision is that agricultural producers worldwide, especially smallholders in developing countries, receive adequate compensation for their multifunctional services and thus earn a living income by selling their produce and by being paid for ecosystem services and for their contributions to climate adaptation along the entire agricultural value chain.
