The Livelihoods Funds, created in 2011, bring together a coalition of actors to restore degraded natural ecosystems, build sustainable supply chains and improve the livelihoods of millions of rural communities who are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Livelihoods acts as a platform providing the means to restore and preserve degraded ecosystems by mobilizing innovative investment vehicles for environmental goods and services, sustainable agriculture markets and carbon offset mechanisms.
Livelihoods Venture is the company responsible for sourcing high-quality social and environmental impact projects to the current investment vehicles, a) the Livelihoods Fund for Family Farming Fund (L3F) and b) the Livelihoods Carbon Funds (LCF1, LCF2 and LCF3).
Its projects have the core purpose of improving the livelihoods of family farmers through integrated strategies that restore the health of soils, generate income, empower the youth and women, and protect and restore nature. These projects include a variety of interventions, such as watershed and water efficiency projects, agroforestry and regenerative agriculture production systems, mangrove restoration and blue carbon projects, rural energy, REDD+, sustainable sourcing of commodities, etc.
Currently, Livelihoods has 5 ongoing projects in Latin America (Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil and Peru) for a total committed and deployed investment of 11M euros. Globally, this represents 13.79% of all of its ongoing investments and benefits to 34K people and 10,860 ha of land. This will sequester 2.4 MtCO2eq over 20 years. In the next 5 years, Livelihoods aims to plant 5.3M trees and save 9Mm3 of water. The group is interested in expanding its portfolio in the Latin American region with many more impactful projects.
