The rich potential of the regenerative approach
At the heart of the regenerative approach lies the essence of collaboration—spanning sectors and value chains—to forge a sustainable future. This session explores the rich potential of regenerative farming for creating new business models, expanding income options, and reducing farmers’ risks by smartly matching supply with demand.
With the current momentum seeing both titans and emerging players in the agricultural sphere converging in EU-level initiatives, this session delves into the ‘who,’ ‘why,’ and ‘how’ of this united front. Offering perspectives from across the value chain, including pivotal stakeholders such as financial institutions, insurers, investors, and governmental bodies, we unravel the synergistic potential that regenerative agriculture holds for a resilient and thriving ecosystem.
