Fall 2024 Meeting Overview 

As regenerative agriculture gains momentum, the challenge now is to move beyond early adopters and scale up these transformative practices. Our Fall Network Meeting will continue our exploration of key strategies for broadening adoption, overcoming barriers, and accelerating the transition to a resilient, regenerative food and agricultural system. Join us as we delve into the tools, strategies, and collaborations necessary to bring regenerative agriculture to the next level and create lasting change for our planet and future food systems.

C-Suite Panel: Leadership for Advancing a Regenerative Future

This Fall's c-suite panel will explore the intersection of company leadership and regenerative agriculture -- where speakers will share their company's origin story and their approaches to fostering sustainability-focused cultures. They will also reflect on how climate and soil health shape their vision for the future of food and agriculture. The discussion will dive into leadership initiatives that address climate challenges and support regenerative sourcing. Key topics will include scaling regenerative practices, stakeholder considerations, unexpected leadership challenges, and consumer trends in the regenerative space.

Financing Regenerative Agriculture to Scale: Part II

As a Part II from our regenerative finance discussion at our Summer 2024 Network Meeting in Minneapolis, we will be bringing together more speakers in this space to dive into the current state of regenerative agriculture financing, exploring how capital is being deployed, accessed, and the gaps that remain in transitioning global food systems. An estimated $300-350 billion annual investment is needed by 2030 to mitigate the climate impacts from agriculture. The session will address barriers to increased investment in this sector and explore innovative strategies to bridge these gaps, empowering farmers to shift to regenerative practices and achieve both climate and human health benefits.
