Last week, WBCSD held an interactive webinar exploring mechanisms for #investing in land-based solutions to reduce and remove #emissions in the #ValueChain and beyond. 📽 Missed it? Watch the webinar now: https://lnkd.in/eV5nxi7j Our panellists Ryan Jones @ Indigo, Courtland Kelly @ Corteva Agriscience, David D'Hollander @ Proforest and Abby Snyder @ Verra discussed: ➡ How corporates evaluate these different mechanisms as part of an overall climate strategy ➡ Navigating potential trade-offs, risks, unintended consequences and synergies of the different mechanisms ➡ Key considerations for corporate claims, accounting, strategy, target-setting and reporting Here were just some of the key takeaways: 💡 Each mechanism has different #financing models, accounting rules and #reporting obligations. They are interconnected but may not be mutually exclusive. 💡 The most impactful mechanism depends on the objectives and activity type. Companies and stakeholders need to determine the best one for their situation. 💡 We need all these mechanisms to work at scale for farmers and producer communities. Stay tuned for more on financing mechanisms for land-based action - including an event at #NYCW. Marine Lefebvre Kate Newbury-Hyde Tom Williams

Indigo Ag and Globally Responsible Production brought together food companies and farmers to foster understanding and brainstorm ways to create shared value through sustainable agriculture. Here are our top 5 takeaways from the field visit: 1. Investing in sustainable agriculture is essential for companies to not only achieve global sustainability goals but also to build a resilient crop supply that can withstand increasingly challenging growing conditions. Programs that drive both environmental and economic benefits for farmers will ensure consistent adoption and long-term resiliency. 2. While farmers are motivated by soil health benefits, financial support that offsets transition risks is what catalyzes regenerative adoption. 3. With crop prices at historic lows, there's a significant opportunity for companies to support farmers this year and start making progress while willingness to participate is high. 4. Sustainable agriculture programs must consider local contexts. Companies can design global program standards with transparent communication and flexibility that allows farmers to achieve shared goals in a way that makes sense for their operation. 5. Successful implementation of a regenerative can be costly, and may impact annual production and profitability. Catalytic finance will help cover these costs and reduce risk.

A very insightful spotlight in Nature on the role that farmers and ranchers around the world can play in tackling climate change. At Indigo, we are working on solutions that incentivize and repeatedly reward farmers and ranchers for the work they do to improve the health of their soils, reduce emissions and sequester carbon, all while improving their yields.
