We are excited to announce our involvement in a news-style programme Future of Farming: Cultivating Resilience produced by ITN Business. Climate change, food security and soil degradation are some of the challenges the agricultural industry faces. Developing innovative practices is key to promoting environmental sustainability and future resilience. The programme explores how organisations are addressing these challenges while strengthening the economic and social foundations of farming communities. Hosted by Lukwesa Burak from the ITN London Studio, visit the ITN Business Hub to watch the full programme when it comes out on Thursday 5th December. #Agriculture #FutureOfFarming #WorldSoilDay

Did you miss our webinar on how to finance the transition to #RegenerativeAgriculture? No problems! You can watch it here: https://ow.ly/pILF50TXqOk 🧑🌾 The event, held on October 16th, explored key findings from a newly published discussion paper on how to design effective incentives for farmers across Europe. 🍀 The SoilValues project, funded by Horizon Europe, maps public and private incentives available in six countries, aiming to address soil degradation and promote sustainable farming. 🌱 With expert panellists and a lively Q&A session, the webinar delved into how business models and policy frameworks can drive meaningful changes in soil health. 👉 To learn more about the project, visit our website: https://ow.ly/8pZj50TXqOi 👉 And check out the discussion paper published by our partners from KOIS: https://ow.ly/3FEJ50TXqOh #HealthySoils #RegenerativeFarming #Sustainability

How do we shape a sustainable future for agriculture? Lauren Ferstandig from The Nature Conservancy, our partner on the RRG Sustainable Water Impact Fund (SWIF), addressed this vital question at The Global Impact Investing Network Impact Forum recently in her talk, "Agriculture has shaped our history; now we need to shape its future." Lauren spotlighted the impactful example of Maria Paz Chadwick, a Chilean farmer working with us in SWIF. Her transition to regenerative agriculture showcases how sustainable investing strategies can help drive meaningful change in farming practices and community resilience. Our RRG colleague Mackenzie Colgan Reinoso was in the audience and she raves about how well this story illustrates our approach to creating value for investors and partners in sustainable real assets – and delivering positive social and environmental outcomes at the same time. And the good news is, it’s just one example. We see similar stories across sectors and geographies: •Sustainable Agriculture – where you can build high-value, vertically integrated companies like our colleagues L. Lloys Frates and Jesse Last and the rest of the team at Frutura. •Water Resilience – like our colleagues Tim Allan and Kelford (Kel) Mitchel and Clifton Lollar are doing up and down the US West with innovative water solutions aiming to build needed groundwater storage infrastructure, improve aquifer health, and support sustainable supplies for farmers. • Biodiversity and Habitat Conservation – like our colleague James Loechel and the Australia team are implementing in commercial farming developments like Manta Farms. Catch Lauren’s insights on The Nature Conservancy’s YouTube channel and join the conversation. Together, we can explore innovative solutions to shape a sustainable agricultural future.  What’s your vision for the future of agriculture? #SustainableAgriculture #WaterResilience #RegenerativeFarming #GlobalImpact #Innovation #SustainableInvesting   https://lnkd.in/eBjNEM4X

Exciting developments in regenerative agriculture! Two new reports, 'Bridging the Regenerative Agriculture Financing Gap' and 'Surf to Turf: Linking Regenerative Agriculture and Restorative Aquaculture in Coastal Foodscapes,' are shedding light on the immense potential of regenerative practices. These reports delve into how regenerative farming can combat climate change, enhance food system resilience, and promote worker and community wellbeing. They also address financing challenges and highlight opportunities for transformative changes in our food systems. Curious to learn more?

TUNE IN TOMORROW: ITN 'Cultivating Resilience' a programme focused on resilience within agricultural systems! Finally a positive news story, one that highlights how farms can be at the forefront of solutions to some of humanity's greatest challenges: climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainable food production. In the programme, Arran Redman represents Innovation for Agriculture and the Climate Farm Demo project, the largest agricultural climate focused project in Europe. By showcasing innovative practices and projects shines a light on how agriculture can drive resilience, protect ecosystems, and create a brighter, more sustainable future. If you're passionate about sustainable farming or have stories of farms leading the way, now's the time to get involved. Let's amplify the message: agriculture is not just part of the problem; it's a vital part of the solution. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Agriculture #PositiveImpact #Resilience

James Mugerwa, a Ugandan farmer, transformed his land using agroecology principles, combating climate change and increasing biodiversity. This sustainable approach not only improved yields but also protected the soil. Africa's food systems face challenges, but embracing agroecology can lead to self-sufficiency, cultural preservation, and healthier communities. The article delves into the importance of indigenous knowledge and the shift towards sustainable agriculture. Let's learn more about how agroecology can revolutionize farming practices https://lnkd.in/gDgmzQac

Good compilation. Yesterday, I read a post and quoted,'' Principle is indivisible; it is either wholly kept or wholly sacrificed" JO. The quote reminded me how we keep creating #principles and when they reach implementation we start sacrificing some, in favor of others. In due course, the so-called principles are actually 'good to consider implementation factors'. Similarly, #agroecology is challenged by the many 'principles' implementers and assessors may wonder how to adapt. I am happy this article is trying to give a structure, something that should have come out at the beginning of the principle #conceptualization. My case is informed by experiences from promoting integrated water resources management (#IWRM) an approach for improving water resources management but it took many years to realize this, and the results have been evident. The questions remain though; at whatever level, what should be kept whole, and what should be sacrificed?

🌾 Join us for an impactful session hosted by SEVEA: “The 4Ps of Regenerative Agriculture and Climate Adaptation for Modern Agriculture Cooperatives.” This session will explore the progress of the Law on Agriculture Cooperatives, showcase best practices in regenerative agriculture, and discuss investment strategies for building resilient and sustainable economic development. 💼 Whether you’re interested in policy, agriculture, or sustainable development, this is a must-attend session to learn how modern cooperatives can thrive in the face of climate change. 🌍 #RegenerativeAgriculture #ClimateAdaptation #AgricultureCooperatives #ResilientEconomy #SEVEA #SustainableDevelopment #Cambodia

At FARMS, we believe the best solutions come from collaboration. That’s why we’re proud to partner with the Coalition of Large Tribes (COLT) to merge Indigenous land stewardship practices with modern agricultural innovation. Together, we’re working on initiatives like bison rematriation to restore ecosystems, support sustainable agriculture, and create lasting economic resilience for rural communities.
