Sustainable agriculture is a farm-to-Wall Street financing challenge. For every $100M. issued in farm loans, the capital food chain is estimated to be exposed to 33,000 tons of scope 3 CO2-eq in fertilizer emissions in the Great Lakes basin. In turn, this impacts corporate commodity supply chains in their scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon reporting. The U-M CEE Center for Digital Asset Finance, Triangle Digital, LimnoTech in collaboration with University of Michigan - Stephen M. Ross School of Business Ravi Anupindi, and University of Michigan- School for Environment and Sustainability Jon W. Allan have partnered with lenders, asset managers, and the farming ecosystem to rethink financing models and farmer incentives in the context of the #tcfd value chain. With thanks to Great Lakes Protection Fund and the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research for supporting this work.

''Farmland investment is a long-term real asset activity, where financial and sustainable returns go hand in hand.'' Interesting article from the Lead Portfolio Manager of our Sustainable Farmland strategy, Richard Jacobs, who explores some of the benefits of regenerative farming. Richard discusses the positive impacts that can be made from both an environmental and social standpoint, the latter being an area often overlooked. https://lnkd.in/eBeqG2at Capital at risk.

Best Long-Term Investments Of 2024! The best way to build wealth is to put your money to work in the Long-Term agro food projects! A great way to get ahead of the game is to pursue long-term investing. When you buy and hold assets for years—or even decades—you have time on your side.   The global food system presents a huge business and investment opportunity with an estimated asset value of US$14 trillion, equivalent to between 16 percent to 20 percent of global GDP.    Global support to agricultural producers could reach nearly $1.8 trillion in 2030 . Therefore, transforming food systems is critical to achieve global targets including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), objectives of the Paris Agreement, and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.   Shifting the way we produce, process, transport, package, and consume food to align with these development, climate and nature targets requires an annual investment of $350 billion by 2030. These funds will drive sustainable agriculture and land use change, innovation in food value chains, shifts in consumer behaviour, and help overcome institutional and financial barriers.   We offer long-term agro-food mega projects from our corporation "Green Alliance" (Smart Sustainable Agro Park Cluster and Smart Agro Hub - Greenport) - short-term in terms of construction time - only 18 months and long-term in terms of existence, for example, like Coca Cola, McDonald's, etc. Since financial instruments are issued for our projects and green bonds are issued, each of our projects is listed on the stock exchange and their long-term listing on the stock exchange occurs! A minority investor invests only 400 thousand Euros - one-time and receives a long-term net profit of 10 million Euros per year and a share in the project -13%, which he can then sell at market value. Or forge the entire business into your own personal property!   It's time to invest in projects confirmed by real production assets. 22 projects ready for implementation - waiting for their minority investors!   We are not selling you a pen, we are selling you a finished, time-stable piece of work!   Buy now - the future of generations! #EcoFriendly #GreenEconomy #circulareconomy #RenewableNaturalGas #Sustainability #Bioeconomy #VentureCapital #Privateequity    Contacn us!

ESG investment presents a significant opportunity for farmers, offering untapped potential for sustainable agriculture. British farmers stand to benefit from corporate investment, provided it is implemented correctly. Insights on leveraging environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investments to empower farmers were shared at a recent event hosted at the Cambridge Judge Business School. Organised by Lloyds Banking Group, the "Finance in the Field" debate saw experts from the finance, farming and research sectors discuss how sustainable finance can drive positive change in agriculture. #ESG #SustainableAgriculture #Farmers #Investment #Cambridge #JudgeBusinessSchool #LloydsBankingGroup #HelpingBritainProsper

Changing to regenerative practices requires learning new methods for farming operations, and there are a lot of barriers and variables that farmers face. That's why our work with companies like @PerdueAgribusiness is crucial to lowering the risks and barriers for farmers to adopt practices like cover cropping and no-till to see tangible results on their fields while sequestering carbon in the ground and improving soil health.    I had the pleasure of speaking to AgFunder News with Scott Raubenstine last week about our #regenerativeagriculture partnership and collaboration with Perdue.

Regenerative Food Systems Investing: 2024 Q2 Round-Up RFSI tracks investments and other capital allocations into regenerative agriculture and food systems initiatives, as well as investments and activities that can enable individuals and operations to transition toward regeneration. While we certainly don’t claim to have tracked all the deals, fund activity, and other news happening across the world in this rapidly growing space, we do capture a good amount. We think digging into what we have tracked can add perspective, and over time, shed light on emerging trends. In our second quarterly round up of regenerative agriculture and food investment activity, RFSI saw a 73% uptick in the number of capital allocations but a decrease in the total capital committed. Catch up on the details of these investments, the funds launched, corporate commitments made, and some informative new reports in our Q2 (April-June) investing round up.
