"We at Trailhead Capital believe that regenerative agriculture practices, and more specifically tech-enabled solutions promoting sustainable practices, can help turn agriculture from a carbon source to a carbon sink, replenish our waterways through healthier and more absorbent soil, improve the quality of food consumed, and allow biodiversity to thrive across our lands, all while improving the way food and other raw materials are produced and delivered to end consumers."  Our feature in this month's GreenMoney Journal, highlighting Trailhead's work to date and our plans for the near future to continue investing in scalable solutions to advance regenerative agriculture and sustainable food systems.

A new generation of farmers is leading the way to a sustainable future through regenerative agriculture. With Mad Capital's mentorship and tailored financing, local farmers are transitioning away from chemical-dependent practices.

Mad Capital provides long-term, flexible, and senior secured loans to US-based organic, regenerative organic, and transitioning farmers. At Toniic, we've now collaborated with Brandon Welch and Philip Taylor, Ph.D. and their team across two of their capital raises. They are now financing farmers in 17 states operating on over 117,000 acres of land with 18,425 acres actively in transition to organic. Part of our added value to investors of the Toniic community is to make connections with like minded investors and so we're grateful that Builders Vision were able to share some of their insights with us. Mad Capital's Perennial Fund II is an expansion of what worked in Perennial Fund I. Along with Toniic members and Builders Vision, the fund has also closed investments from The Rockefeller Foundation and The Schmidt Family Foundation. Thank you Brandon and Phil for your help writing this article, along with Kevin Dowdell, Sara Balawajder and Rachel Coleman. #impactinvesting #regenerativeagriculture https://lnkd.in/eFW72A4h
