JOIN US IN 2023

As regenerative agriculture moves from being more of an elusive concept to a proven solution and an answer to the future of farming, extending its reach is vital. According to the Sustainable Markets Initiative, to limit climate change to 1.5 degrees, it must be scaled faster, and move from covering around 15% of global cropland today to 40% by 2030. 

Despite pockets of progress, adoption rates are far too slow as the short-term economic case for change is not compelling enough for farmers. A farmer-first approach must be implemented, and immediate action must be taken to scale support for farmers by creating mechanisms and developing new sourcing models to share the cost of transition, building farmers’ income from environmental outcomes, and advocating for government policy that enables and rewards farmers for the transition. 

Focusing this year on moving pilot projects to scale, the Regenerative Agriculture and Food Systems Summit Europe will facilitate and accelerate adoption and provide insights to inform corporate strategies to effectively achieve sustainability goals.

Join us again in September 2023 to continue to drive progress and accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture. Download our agenda today.

VIRTUAL FARMER'S WORKSHOP

Thursday, 13th July | 3PM BST | 4PM CEST

Focused on sharing the farmer's perspective, join leading regenerative farmers from across Europe in this virtual discussion-based workshop in partnership with The Regenerative Agroforestry Podcastbefore splitting into small breakout groups to discuss the experiences, challenges, and learnings farmers have faced when scaling regenerative practices.

This is an interactive workshop and we encourage farmers (and others working on the ground) to come to the workshop ready to contribute and share their experiences and learnings with the group.

Discussion points include:

  • What challenges and hesitancies have you faced during your transition to regenerative practices and what can the industry do to provide valuable support?
  • What incentives, financial or otherwise, would be most beneficial to receive when embarking on and throughout the transition?
  • What would a ‘perfect’ partnership look like and what roadblocks have you experienced?
