Numerous companies highlight the importance of transitioning to regenerative agriculture practices, yet few actually allocate the necessary resources to effect meaningful change beyond mere lip service. The Nature Conservancy's strategy, as detailed by Renée Vassilos, stands out as a commendable model worth supporting. By investing in the #agtech #startup community, they aim to catalyze change and foster #innovation. This innovative approach is inspiring and could serve as a benchmark for others to emulate, driving widespread adoption of sustainable practices. https://lnkd.in/dYg2jUyf

Regenerative agriculture is sowing the seeds of a sustainable future, cultivating benefits for the environment while reaping a harvest of improved biodiversity, water, and soil quality. Big players like Nestlé, Unilever, and Danone are plowing ahead, incorporating "regenerative agriculture" into their sustainability fields. Increasing interest in regenerative agriculture has also taken root among a growing number of tech startups dedicated to developing innovations supporting regenerative agriculture. In the past two years, investors have been plowing $1.4 billion into these initiatives. #2030agenda #regenerativeagriculture #Sustainability #ImpactInvestment https://lnkd.in/g6K8bU5u

“As we look to the future, it's evident that the fusion of technology and regenerative agriculture practices is not merely an option but a necessary path” 💡 Simone Sala, our Director of Global Soils, recently shared insights with The Engineer UK about how technology is benefiting agricultural improvements. Recent estimates by National Geographic reported that by 2050, an additional two billion people will need to be fed, but farmland is being lost due to the increasing population. Our precious resource, Soil, is often overlooked and under threat, with the United Nations reporting 40% of soil is in dire straits. It’s more important than ever to protect our soil, recover damaged land and support increased food production; moving forward with regenerative agriculture is the solution for a more sustainable and resilient food system. 🌿 Read the full article here:  https://lnkd.in/eJkJvai8 #soil #regenerativeagriculture #agtech #technology #collaboration

“When farmers are relieved of their financial constraints and equipped with the means to adopt new technologies and more sustainable methods, we can begin to imagine a future where we don’t have to choose between combating food insecurity and preserving our ecosystems.” Barron's highlights how regenerative agriculture serves as an investable solution for reducing carbon emissions, yet farmers currently face a financing issue that prevents them from transitioning from traditional practices to smart farming methods. Our services #GlobalFieldID & #SoilHive are tools to support #SoilHealth and help build the infrastructure for better transparency in agriculture, supporting farmers through sustained investment. Financial aid is crucial to safeguarding our environment for future generations. 🌱🌍 Read further on:   https://lnkd.in/g9cKycxG #agtech #agdata #technology #collaboration #regenerativeagriculture

As we approach the upcoming launch of the Discover Regenerative Portal, it’s a good opportunity to reflect - so what is Regenerative Agriculture? One of our supporting organisations for the Discover Regenerative Portal, Soils for Life, has articulated it beautifully: “We find the term ‘regenerative agriculture’ useful because it describes the goal. ‘Regeneration’ means ‘the act of improving a place or system’. Farmers adopting regenerative approaches to agriculture are trying to go further than reducing the environmental impact of their enterprise. They are trying to use that enterprise to improve the environment, to improve the function of the natural soil and landscape ecosystems they manage.” Read the full article via : https://lnkd.in/ekZWGpmc The Discover Regenerative Portal is a showcase of Australia regenerative Producers, products, outcomes and achievements. It makes it easy for B2B Buyers to find and directly connect with these leading Producers. Be the first to explore the Portal on launch, by signing up to our mailing list: https://lnkd.in/gU99aTvN 🐮 Image credit: Perennial Grasslands

Unlock Sustainable Farm Growth. Farmers are better positioned to grow and ultimately achieve their regenerative goals by viewing farming through Maslow's hierarchy lens. Only by first meeting the needs of a lower-level farmer can the next level goal be attempted, thus building the pyramid towards ultimately achieving regenerative farming goals. 👉First, farmers who are operationally efficient in a stable marketing environment cater to the physiological needs of farmers. 👉Build a Supportive Network: Stabilising profitability paves the way for sustainable practices through safety and cooperation. 👉Empower for Self-Optimization: Regenerative practices are driven by sustainability. Maslow's hierarchy gives regenerative farming projects a stable financial base. Based on my farming experience, I can confirm that growth appeared elusive until I identified the initial goals that needed to be addressed. Maslow's Hierarchy for Agriculture provides a simple illustration to understand better and manage the path toward regenerative farming.
