🌾 Transitioning to Regenerative Agriculture: Managing Risks with Confidence 🌾 For farmers looking to shift towards regenerative agriculture, the journey is promising but can feel uncertain. Managing risks is a real challenge, as growers face complex adjustments to soil health practices, crop rotations, and resource management. This transition demands not only commitment but also expert support to ensure long-term success. By joining initiatives led by the EMEA Bayer Carbon Business Team, farmers gain a partner in this journey. Bayer’s team provides targeted agronomical advisory and unmatched project management expertise—tools essential for navigating this transition confidently. Recognized by leaders across the agricultural value chain, these projects are designed to empower growers to adopt sustainable practices while mitigating risks. Together, we can create a future where sustainability meets profitability. Embrace regenerative practices with the right support and redefine the future of farming! 🌱 #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableFarming #BayerCarbon

Farmer Buy-In: The Key to Scaling Regenerative Programs 🦚 One of the most critical aspects of implementing “regenerative agriculture programs” on a large scale is gaining farmer buy-in. Without farmer commitment to adopting these practices, scaling up sustainability efforts becomes nearly impossible. Farmers are the backbone of any agricultural initiative, and their willingness to embrace change determines the success or failure of regenerative programs. 🦚 To achieve this, we need to create a “farmer-centric value proposition” that incorporate the producer as part of the supply chain and that resonate with farmers, offering them tangible benefits such as agronomic results (better soil health, organic matter, higher yields), economic-financial incentives, premium prices for the produced crops, and a demonstrable, emotional benefit related to the positive impact they are generating on the environment. 🦚 It is about more than just introducing new practices: it is about building trust, providing the necessary support, training, monitoring, and demonstrating how these changes can generate long-term gains. 🌿 How do you approach farmer participation in your sustainability programs? What strategies have proven effective in gaining farmer acceptance for regenerative practices? #RegenerativeAgriculture #Sustainability #FarmerFirst #farmercentric #AgTech #SustainableFarming #SoilHealth #ClimateSmartAg #FutureOfFarming #AgInputs #CPG

What a difference a couple years makes! Gone are the days of reading between the lines of corporate jargon to understand a handful of agrifood corporates' regenerative agriculture commitments. In 2024, most major food companies dedicate a page on their websites to regenerative/sustainable agriculture, many with clear goals and target dates! #climate #climatechange #corporatesustainability #regenerativeagriculture #regenag #sustainability #sustainableagriculture #sustainableag #ESG

Out now! read our paper on regenerative agriculture and positive roadmap for food sector in the Netherlands. #netpositive
Can we share a positive perspective for Farmers… Yes we can! Regenerative Agriculture provides significant benefits for farmers but also helps to make the food system more sustainable. Current agricultural methods, especially intensive farming, can leave a damaging environmental legacy and produce food of lower nutritional value. By applying regenerative agricultural practices, we can: > lower GHG emissions; > reduce freshwater consumption; > cut back on nitrate pollution; > improve soil quality and fertility; > enhance biodiversity; and > grow more nutrient-rich crops. Our point of view will address the following, with a specific perspective on the Netherlands: - What is regenerative agriculture, and what are its benefits and risks - What are the opportunities and challenges for food-agri players in scaling regenerative agriculture? How can they collaborate? Let's advance towards sustainable growth together: https://deloi.tt/49bMeC0 #FutureofFood #RegenerativeAgriculture Tina Scheele, Arthur de Wilde, Stefania Daniolos, Fred Nijland, Maarten Oonk

The shift towards regenerative farming practices is gaining momentum, driven by the urgent need for resilience in our food systems and supply chains. To be successful and achieve true systemic change is important to create impactful, cross-value chain collaboration, that put the farmer at the central. By adopting regenerative practices tailored to their unique needs, farmers unlock value at every turn. From improved soil health and increased yields to reduced input costs and resilience to climate challenges, the benefits are clear. At Bayer, we're setting our sights on a future where “Produce More -, Restore More" is more than a vision, it's a reality. We're committed to working with farmers and partners to transform global agriculture systems by scaling regenerative agriculture and addressing the twin challenges of climate change and food security.

I am committed to expanding my knowledge and enjoy seeking opportunities to explore new ideas. Hence, I wanted to talk about a webinar I attended hosted by RaddisCotton on “How to Scale up Regenerative Cotton Sourcing”. 💡 With cotton being a commodity with a history of exploitation in the value chain and negative environmental impacts, I was curious how alternative agricultural practices and cotton value chain approaches can look in practice and the associated issues with their implementation. Here are some of my key insights: 🌾 Regenerative agriculture goes beyond just ensuring the sustainability of growing crops. Empowering the local Indigenous people and their ancient place-based knowledge is fundamental to regenerative agriculture. 🤝 A regenerative cotton value network requires suppliers, such as farmer families, to be on equal footing with buyers. Raddis approaches this through a multi-year collaboration system; brand partners sign up for it and pay fees upfront to enable the transformation from degenerative towards regenerative farm practices. Farmers are provided payment at the time of procurement by bank transfer for their cotton and are assured they have reliable buyers, encouraging consistent use of sustainable practices. Raddis can scale up regenerative farming in different areas through this approach with multiple brand partners. 🙆 Upscaling is not a smooth process, especially due to the various stakeholders involved in the network and ongoing legislative changes like the EU Green Deal. Open communication and commitment between all stakeholders is key to transform the commodity chain into a collaborative value network!
