Thrilled to launch Success in Regeneration. The potential of RegenAg has only scratched the surface. Real success cases, at scale, over the full spectrum of regeneration outcomes are still missing. We call this deep regeneration. They make the ‘lighthouse farm success cases’ that are needed to achieve systemic change towards a regenerative agrifood system. Climate Farmer is the first real partner, capable of delivering these golden success cases. Our Success in Regeneration (SiR) solution enables investors and farm managers to embark on a truly holistic regeneration journey. SiR accelerates and de-risks the transition to regenerative management and the implementation of regenerative agriculture. Drop us a PM if you would like more information.

Pushing the evolution of Nature-based Carbon Credits 3-minute read SLM Partners reached out to Climate Farmers and asked us if we were interested in developing a ‘carbon credit accounting and generation methodology’ to measure carbon sequestration in orchards in the Mediterranean. Knowing that this field was still largely undeveloped, it could be a major win for the regenerative agriculture movement, we were happy to jump at the opportunity. The role of Carbon Credits in RegenAg investment projects has increasingly become more important. It has changed from cherry on top to supplementing the business case (de-risking the transition). Together with Alessia Lenders from SLM Partners, we explored these major trends: 1. How the quality of carbon credit serve as natural selection 2. The dialogue with investors is changing 3. The pool of investors in RegenAg keeps getting bigger Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eXFEQMZf

How RegenAg is tackling the economic system failure in the agri-food system In the coming weeks, we will highlight emerging macro trends that, without a shadow of a doubt, stress the need to seriously consider shifting to RegenAg. Reason #5: Economic System Failure - The negative economic effect of the current agri-food system is estimated at 15 trillion USD per year, equivalent to 12% of Global GDP in 2020. - Transforming food systems could provide economic benefits equivalent to 5 to upwards of 10 trillion USD per year globally. - The costs of the transformation of global food systems are minor in comparison: 200 - 500 billion USD. The agri-food sector is already greatly impacted by this macro trend, and regenerative agriculture has repeatedly proven to be a solution to the economic challenges this sector is facing. In the meantime, our partners, the Puentes Campos brothers of La Biodiversa Olive Oil, are leading the way. Remember that the shift to RegenAg takes time and vision. And you need to act now in order to put your farmland on a future-proof path.

Our work on carbon credits appeared in the Sunday edition of Actualidad Económica, a magazine of the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, the second largest printed daily newspaper.

How RegenAg is tackling the ecological system failure head on. In the coming weeks, we will highlight emerging macro trends that, without a shadow of a doubt, stress the need to seriously consider shifting to RegenAg. Reason #4: Ecological System Failure - The current concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere is the highest it has been in human history. - While GHG emissions are a major issue, the problems extend beyond CO2. - At least 6 of the Earth’s 9 planetary boundaries have been crossed. - Agriculture plays a major role, as it has a significant impact on most critical areas. - Biodiversity, soil degradation, and water are negatively affected by agriculture, especially the implications of large-scale use of synthetic inputs The agri-food sector is already greatly impacted by this macro trend, and regenerative agriculture has repeatedly proven to be a solution to the ecological challenges this sector is facing. In the meantime, our partner Maria Martinez is leading the way. Remember that the shift to RegenAg takes time and vision. And you need to act now in order to put your farmland on a future-proof path.

How RegenAg is mitigating the climate & biodiversity crisis In the coming weeks, we will highlight emerging macro trends that, without a shadow of a doubt, stress the need to seriously consider shifting to RegenAg. Reason #3: Climate & biodiversity crisis Farmers will need to adapt to the effects of climate change, such as the increased frequency of extreme weather events, changing growing seasons, and water scarcity. Harvests have already been majorly affected, disrupting supply chains. The agri-food sector is already greatly impacted by this macro trend, and regenerative agriculture has repeatedly proven to be a solution to the ecological challenges this sector is facing. In the meantime, our partner Herberto Brunk is leading the way. Remember that the shift to RegenAg takes time and vision. And you need to act now in order to put your farmland on a future-proof path.

In the meantime, our partner Manuel Troya is leading the way. Remember that the shift to RegenAg takes time and vision. And you need to act now in order to put your farmland on a future-proof path.

Very exited to share this big news with you. Today we officially launched our Success in Regeneration solution. SiR helps investment funds and their farm managers adopt regenerative management. Most of you probably know that we are in the business of supporting farmers in their transition to regenerative agriculture. This hasn’t changed. But we have learned that if you want to achieve systemic change towards a regenerative agrifood system, you need to enable large scale farms to embark on a truly holistic regeneration journey. But a regeneration partner (capable of doing that) was still missing. Our non-profit and commercial activities have prepared us for this role. As your partner from A to Z Climate Farmers will help investment funds maximise the regenerative edge of their farm investment, by deepen the understanding of the farm's holistic context and improving your regeneration outcomes with every cycle. 1. De-risk your farm (investment) 2. Improve the profitability of your farm by up to 60% 3. Maximise the generation of CC and ensure a high price (i.e. measured co-benefits) 4. Reportable verified regenerative outcomes 5. Increase the value of your land through successful regeneration 6. Leveraging unique insights derived from measurements and benchmarks

How reporting on scope 3 emission pushes RegenAg forward. In the coming weeks, we will highlight emerging macro trends that, without a shadow of a doubt, stress the need to seriously start to consider shifting to RegenAg. Reason #1: Sustainability and Green Transition - The European Union’s Green Deal aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. - Reporting requirements on reduced synthetic inputs as well as transparent supply-chains including scope 3 emissions will represent a major challenge for corporates in the space. - The expected medium-term development toward integrating the agri-food sector into the Emissions Trading System (ETS) will affect agriculture further. The agri-food sector is already greatly impacted by this macro trend, and regenerative agriculture has repeatedly proven to be a solution to the ecological, economic, and social challenges facing the agri-food sector. In the meantime, our partner Fermín Ibáñez Guzmán is leading the way. Remember that the shift to RegenAg takes time and vision. And you need to act now in order to put your farmland on a future-proof path.
