Spain is facing a decisive moment in the climate transformation of its agri-food chain. Despite having a highly significant productive sector, a strong cooperative presence, and a solid scientific ecosystem, progress in integrating low-carbon practices, agricultural digitalisation, and sustainable finance mechanisms remains uneven.

This report is part of the Ideas for Action series and brings together the main conclusions of the working group Transforming the agri-food chain in Spain: innovation, business models and climate finance, promoted by alinnea throughout 2025. The group brought together public administration, the private sector, the financial community, civil society, and academia to identify the bottlenecks holding back the transition and to agree on concrete proposals to address them. Rather than closing the debate, this report organises it and pushes it towards concrete decisions that Spain can and must take now, with a realistic view of its sectors, territories, and capacities.

The participation of the entities involved does not necessarily imply their endorsement of the ideas presented in the final document in the form of specific commitments.
