Regenerative Food Systems Investment Forum is just around the corner and It's time to Rock N Roll for the health of our soils! 🎸🌱 As we're getting ready for Denver with my partner in crime Heather Boright, I thought it would be nice to share some of my favorite moments 🤩 from last February, when the Forum first came to Europe 🇧🇪 One of the coolest moments indeed, Philip Taylor, Ph.D. on stage ✊ sharing the story of Mad Agriculture and pitching Mad Capital's second fund - Perennial Fund II. These guys have been so creative and brave in finding how they can offer tailored loans for farmers who want to transition their land to regenerative organic practices - a great example of what John Kempf calls "building regenerative relationships". If you're looking for hope and inspiration you can start by checking them out. If you want to be part of the conversation, about financing the wider adoption of Regenerative Agriculture and how you can help, then join the rest of us at the Forum in Denver, 9-10 October. A great event organised by Sarah Day Levesque & Rachel Ringle.

Financing for #regenerativeagriculture is still in its early stages in many regions, but there are actionable steps that can be taken to deliver a viable market. In our ‘Financing for Regenerative Agriculture’ report in partnership with Pollination, we introduce the Market Maturity Curve, a framework that allows practitioners to identify where they are on this journey. 📈 We have mapped the types of capital practitioners should seek, depending on how far along the curve they are. 💲 As it stands, the regenerative agriculture market is currently moving from Phase 2 ‘Early scale initiatives’ to Phase 3 ’Unlocking progressive commercial capital’. As such, our curve suggests sourcing capital via a mixture of philanthropies, public funding and large corporates.
