Leveraging blended finance for ecosystem services in a
changing financial landscape
How can we sustainably finance the transition to resilient, low-emission food systems—while ensuring that smallholder farmers are at the center?
This report, authored by Hugo Hooijer, Senni Alho, and Bruce Campbell, brings together insights from the CompensACTION initiative to explore how blended finance can support ecosystem services such as soil health, biodiversity conservation, and climate resilience.
Drawing on pilot experiences across diverse contexts—including Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya, India, and beyond—the report highlights what works, what doesn’t, and what’s needed to scale.
