Engagement

finres was founded with the vision that farmers must be able to prosper and feed the world while the climate is changing. Farmers directly feel the effect of climate change on their yields and incomes, with knock-on impacts across agricultural value chains. Finres was founded by Florent Baarsch, building on his experience at the World Bank, United Nations, and renowned research organizations analyzing how economies, and in particular farming, will be affected by climate change.

There is a growing realization of the need for climate adaptation, but decisions about preparing the agricultural sector for climate change are frequently made without sufficient data on which adaptation solutions would be most effective. Different solutions are better in different contexts. Solving the problem of knowing how to measure risk and optimize yields in each location, finres supports the acceleration of climate-resilience in farming through data.

Leveraging the expertise of its team of world leading climate scientists, advanced agronomists, adaptation specialists, and digital innovators, finres is making data available to inform decisions about the future of farming.

Clients of finres have included the World Bank, the Green Climate Fund, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, over 25 commercial and development banks, and the tens of thousands of farmers we have supported through our work.

By making climate risk and the opportunities of adaptation widely accessible, finres is transforming the ability of the agricultural sector to prepare and protect itself from climate change.
