We’re looking for an exceptional candidate to lead and develop our new funder interest group: Better Food & Farming Group (BFFG) 🧑‍🌾🥕

This isn't a traditional grant-making role. Instead, you are a facilitator and strategist.

The Better Food & Farming Lead will develop and coordinate BFFG, ensuring that funders are collaborating, strategising together, learning from the latest evidence, working towards a shared ambition for change, and not duplicating efforts.

While BFFG is new, it will be housed within EFN with the support of the team and a consultant Strategic Advisor, giving you the creativity and founding energy of a start-up, matched by the support and networks of an established and respected organisation.

Last week EFN and I.G. Advisors headed over to Glasgow to bring together just under 20 senior Scottish leaders from our Leadership Labs programme to meet and connect.

Leaders from across all three cohorts dropped by and we were so touched by their comments on the programme:

✨'The new friends I have made make me feel connected, no longer alone, nationwide.'
✨'Great experience and great fun.'
✨'The most significant long-term benefit has been the people I've connected with. Through the Lab, we have moved on to partnering and collaborating on new projects.'

Big thank you to @thehiddengardensglasgow for hosting us with some delicious catering by @milk_community_glasgow. Thank you to brilliant partners at IG and their expertise in all things leadership. Of course a big thank you to each leader who took part in this pilot training and making it such a success.

The Leadership Labs provide leadership training for climate, environment and natural heritage leaders working in Scotland, made possible with @heritagefundukand thanks to National Lottery players.

We’re hoping to be back with more opportunities like this one in the future - watch this space!

✨NEW blog ✨ Stepping Up: Johan Rockström on planetary boundaries, philanthropy and better funding

“We are no longer this small world on a big planet. We are a very big world on a small planet that is actually showing signs of weakness.” – Johan Rockström

Part of our ‘Stepping Up’ series, our trustee, Liz Gadd, delves into insights from Johan Rockström on leadership in philanthropy as we face the environmental and biodiversity crises.

Inspired by Johan’s insights, Liz believes we need to change how we live to adjust to our changing climate and to stop fueling environmental damage at the same time. But we can also choose a path forward that improves lives at the same time and funders can be part of that journey.

As Liz says, all us, including philanthropists, “have an incredible opportunity to address historic inequity through fair action on climate change.”

Check out our ✨ new blog✨ for insights from the IPBES 12 plenary meeting. We reflect on the impact of IPBES’s approach and accessibility, plus provide some prompts for funders.

EFN team members, Oscar and Aliyah attended the 12th plenary meeting of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) in Manchester. The event brought different stakeholders, including international government representatives, scientists, Indigenous knowledge holders, and NGOs together, with the main aim of reviewing the new Business and Biodiversity Assessment.

In our blog, we highlight key takeaways and prompts for funders, including:
