For anyone interested in the subject of #regenerativeagriculture, I cannot recommend this brilliant report by Paul McMahon too highly SLM Partners

🚨 New Report Alert! In case you haven’t heard, this week Paul McMahon and SLM Partners released an update to their 2016 white paper, "The Investment Case for Ecological Agriculture. I can still remember covering the 2016 paper when it came out. Back then: 1️⃣ Regenerative agriculture was not a term used very broadly, and 2️⃣ Investing in farmland for ecological and social outcomes was considered very fringe YET, that paper become the foundational white paper for those looking at regenerative agriculture as an investment opportunity. Fast forward to this week and our team had a blast helping SLM launch the update to this white paper: Investing in Regenerative Agriculture - Reflections from the Past Decade. 🗣️ First, I had a chance to sit down with Paul and ask him to compare and contrast then (2016) and now for regenerative agriculture investing - his behind the scenes tidbits were fascinating. You can read more here: https://lnkd.in/gRCbZFtN 👩🏻💻 We also hosted an informative webinar, where Paul outlined the evolved case for investment, summarized the data-packed report, and answered audience questions. You can watch the insight-rich recording here:  https://lnkd.in/gYREsWq2 📖 And now I invite you all to spend some time this weekend digging into the next foundational white paper for regenerative agriculture investing: https://lnkd.in/g8M_U3-C Happy reading! And very big thanks to Paul and the SLM Partners team for their impactful work and sharing their years of collected understanding with all of us!

Great insights from #EitFood on regenerative agriculture - a promising approach with its fair share of challenges. From consumer confusion to the need for clear definitions and misconceptions around scalability and health benefits, the journey is complex. A robust supply chain and supportive policies for farmers are critical. Understanding these issues is key for integrating regenerative practices into mainstream food systems.

When it comes to innovation in R&D, diversity drives our approach. Jason Allerding, Global Head of Sustainability, Health, Safety, and Risk Management at Syngenta Seeds, spoke about the importance of blending innovation with tradition to Seed World Europe for their article on regenerative agriculture. 🌱 ✨ As a data-science-driven business, we're dedicated to enhancing every aspect of our processes for speed, precision, and power – but there's no one-size-fits-all solution. From amplifying seed germplasm performance, to introducing pioneering biological techniques like seed treatments with biostimulants, we're revolutionizing agriculture to benefit farmers, consumers, and our planet.

🌻 Have you been wondering why several countries are investing billions of dollars in regenerative agriculture? 🌱 By reducing ploughing, limiting chemical fertiliser use, and protecting the soil, regenerative practices can enhance CO2 sequestering, improve soil health and even boost yields, explains Attila Kokeny, Regenerative Agriculture Consultant at Preferred by Nature and LENs. In fact, regenerative agriculture has the potential to surpass average yields for certain crops in specific regions. 💡 Read more on this important topic: https://lnkd.in/gpsKhmpB 3Keel

Big things can happen in five years... At our first ever evokeAG we hosted Regrow Ag (then FluroSat) in Startup Alley. Five years on and some impressive accolades, including being named one of TIME’s Top 100 Influential Companies for 2023 and one of Fast Company’s 50 Most Innovative Companies for 2023, we’re thrilled to welcome Regrow Ag back as a partner at evokeAG 2024. With partners (including Cargill, Kellogg’s, Nutrien, Syngenta and General Mills – just to name a few), its team and investors, Regrow is making regenerative agriculture accessible to more farmers and acres around the world. Regrow uses scientifically vetted crop and soil models, connectivity to farm management platforms and terabytes of satellite imagery to support equitable ecosystem markets and programs. But how does it work in practice? 📌 Measure: Regrow model and measure the impact of crop and social management decisions on soil and ecosystem health - historically and going forward. 📊 Report: Leveraging farm management system integrations and satellite imagery to report on implemented practices and enable grower payments. ✅ Verify: regrow enables scalable verification of practices and ecosystem outcomes for verifiers to approve credits quickly and transparently. Are you ready to play your part in transforming the food system? Regrow wants to help you maximise your impact on the agriculture supply chain 👉 regrow.ag/

At Yakima Chief Hops, we are committed to leading proactive land stewardship through storytelling, education, and advocacy. Our dedication to regenerative agriculture is reflected in our Green Chief® Program, which promotes sustainable practices that benefit our growers and the environment. There has long been a misconception that agriculture negatively impacts the environment and that crops only take from the land. But what if we told you there's an approach to farming that contributes to the land while still allowing farmers to reap a bountiful harvest? It's called regenerative agriculture. Read our recent blog "The Role of Regenerative Agriculture in Sustainable Hop Production" to learn the importance of regenerative agriculture in the beer industry and its potential to mitigate the effects of climate change associated with traditional farming practices.

Regenerative agriculture: healthy soil, healthy animals, healthy nature and fair income for farmer and grower. We believe that collaboration across the food chain is the key to the successful and sustainable transformation. Watch the Deloitte webinar with our Global Director Plant Based Solutions Willem Unger.

A great webinar coming up: Harness technology to accelerate regenerative agriculture programmes to support sustainability ambitions, slash scope 3 emissions and build supply chain resilience. Conventional agriculture contributes to almost a third of global emissions and also negatively impacts soil health. Agricultural supply chains need to decarbonise and preserve soil health today to ensure food security and build climate-resilient businesses of tomorrow. This webinar will dissect how business leaders in the agri-food industries are using technology and regenerative agriculture programmes to advance their net zero programmes while supporting farmers. From this webinar you will take away: > How you can effectively implement a soil carbon programme and onboard farmers  > How remote sensing and AI can accelerate strategic decision-making  > Case studies of how innovators in the Agri-Supply Chain are utilising regenerative agriculture to make their supply chain climate-resilient Date & Time: 15:00 BST, May 2, 2024 https://lnkd.in/ez7B8nt3
