Recently there has been a major social movement towards a form of agriculture that some call “regenerative”, a form of agriculture that not only doesn’t contribute to the problem, but is also building soil, capturing carbon, and feeding the world’s billions of people. But what does regenerative agriculture really mean, and how do we finance a transition from degenerative agriculture (the way much of our food is grown today) to something different and better?
This webinar will look at all these issues and more and will be based on work done by Ricardo Bayon and Encourage to try to answer a simple question: what sort of finance is needed to support this transition. It will draw on over a year’s worth of discussions with players up and down the value chain of regenerative agriculture, from producers and processors to distributors and end-users. Mr. Bayon draws on a wealth of experience in conservation finance working on issues of climate, carbon, water, solar energy and more.
