The Responsible Agricultural Investment (RAI) Tool for Agribusiness helps business leaders put principles into practice in the drive to improve sustainability in agrifood systems.
Recognizing the critical role investors and businesses can play in driving the transition to more equitable, resilient, and sustainable food systems, the Responsible Agricultural Investment Tool for Agribusiness—developed by IISD and Cerise+SPTF—offers a practical framework for business leaders to understand what responsible practices look like, identify gaps, and prioritize improvements as they seek to align with international principles.
A new soil product that harnesses typha—a component made up of cattails, harvested from Manitoba's wetlands—to reduce peat-based compost in soils, is growing in popularity among Winnipeg gardeners.

This tool aims to support agribusinesses in aligning their practices, procedures, and operations with principles of responsible investment in agriculture and food systems.
