Healthy soil is the foundation of our food system, playing an essential role in the long-term #sustainability of EU #agriculture. 🌱      That's why, now more than ever, it's critical to promote #regenerativeagriculture as a vehicle for growing a nature-positive food future in Europe. 💚     At Yara, we define regenerative agriculture as a “systematic, outcome-based approach to adopt the best sustainable farming practices that positively affect nature and climate, across five recurrent themes: climate, soil health, resource use efficiency, biodiversity, and prosperity”.     When combined with precision farming and digital solutions, regenerative agriculture brings many benefits:   🌾 Increased crop resilience and yield  🌱 Improved #soilhealth  📉 Reduced nutrient losses    But that's not all, as #fertilizers can also play a crucial role in the game!

🌳 Can we feed the world if we have a transition to regenerative farming systems which is scaled across the planet? In this tentpole film about #RegenerativeAgriculture, our CSO, Julie Greene, joins other industry experts in sharing their insights about this growing movement, exploring both its benefits and its challenges. Through our regenerative agriculture initiatives, Olam Agri has been supporting almost half a million smallholder farmers across rice, sesame, quinoa and other products to implement better farming practices that are good for the environment and farmer livelihoods – all towards the goal of ensuring food security for the future.

ASBN is urging #Congress to prioritize regenerative agriculture in the upcoming Farm Bill! 🌱Regenerative practices lead to more climate-resilient farms with increased yields and lower costs to producers. Consumers increasingly seek ethically produced food, making regenerative agriculture a smart long-term business decision. 🌾The Farm Bill has the potential to unlock the power of the Inflation Reduction Act's (IRA) historic investment in climate-smart agriculture. But protecting the "climate guardrails" is crucial to ensure this opportunity isn't lost! 🌎 👉Join us in taking action! https://bit.ly/3Vl2FWQ Let's show Congress that businesses support a Farm Bill prioritizing regenerative agriculture and safeguarding IRA funding. Here's what you can do: 1️⃣Share this post to spread the word! 2️⃣Sign on to urge Congress to support a Farm Bill with these priorities! https://bit.ly/3Vl2FWQ ✨Together, we can build a thriving, just and regenerative food system for all. #FarmBill #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableBusiness #ASBN #ClimateAction

"Do we need a better agricultural system to feed the world? The answer is yes." TRAILER 🌍 New documentary released on RE:TV delves into the need to transition to regenerative farming globally, revolutionising food production from a major carbon emitter to a valuable carbon sink. 🎥 Loved producing this with Atomized Studios, and with our DUNA editor Tom Oliver. Check out the new 10-minute tentpole film:(https://lnkd.in/eqNZmi-a) 🌱 Food is responsible for a third of all global emissions, but #RegenerativeAgriculture offers a way to reduce emissions, regenerate ecosystems, and store carbon 🥕 📈 The challenge for regenerative agriculture is one of scale – can it produce enough food for our growing population? 🌿 Patrick Holden and Adele Jones from Sustainable Food Trust, Julie Greene from Olam Agri, and Alexander Gillett from HowGood are at the forefront of this agricultural transition, collaborating through the Sustainable Markets Initiative's Agribusiness Task Force.

🌱✨ In the face of climate challenges, a transformative approach is reshaping the agricultural landscape. Regenerative agriculture goes beyond conventional farming practices. 🌍 With agriculture contributing to 23% of global greenhouse gas emissions and food waste accounting for another 8-10%, the need for sustainable solutions has never been more pressing. The regenerative agriculture movement is responding to this call by reviving our soils, now weary from overuse. 🔗 This approach isn't just about growing crops; it's a holistic method to rejuvenate the entire ecosystem. By focusing on soil health, water conservation, and carbon sequestration, regenerative agriculture is making farming more productive, profitable, and sustainable. As we embrace this regenerative revolution, we're not just investing in agriculture; we're investing in a healthier, more sustainable future for our planet. To learn more about how we're turning the tide in agriculture with our regenerative projects, read our article: https://lnkd.in/ervZ8qNb #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableFarming #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #SoilHealth #CarbonSequestration

We are back from the Regenerative Food Systems Investment Forum #RFSIEurope24, where farmers, investors and fund managers gathered to discuss accelerating the shift to regenerative agriculture and food systems. A key outcome was the need for tools to measure the positive impact of regenerative agricultural practices on the environment, which would allow to integrate natural capital in risk assessments. Our tools at Lobelia Earth empower regenerative agriculture: 🌽 Assessing crop resilience to climate change 📊 Monitoring the positive impact of sustainable agricultural practices This approach provides investors with scientific data to make risk-informed decisions today, while long-term impact documentation will encourage further investments tomorrow.  #RegenerativeAg #SustainableInvesting #ClimateAction The Landbanking Group | SLM Partners

What do cross-value collaboration, de-risking transition for the farmer and placing a value on ecosystem services all have in common? They are all key ingredients that are needed to implement scalable and efficient regenerative farming practices! 🌱 The agri-food industry presently accounts for nearly a third of greenhouse gas emissions (FAOstat). Simultaneously, it holds the potential to emerge as one of the most promising solutions in the fight against climate change, incorporating strategies such as CO2 sequestration in soils. Embracing #RegenerativeAgriculture, which emphasizes the restoration and preservation of soil health while collaborating with nature instead of opposing it, can be a pivotal step forward. Explore our blog to learn about the necessary changes required to facilitate the adoption of regenerative agriculture and how the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio plays a role in supporting the transition towards this sustainable farming approach.

By fully understanding the specific context of each growing region, Foodscapes, an initiative by The Nature Conservancy, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and Systemiq Ltd., are transforming our understanding and approach to agriculture. Here's how: Focused solutions: Foodscapes can help identify areas where nature-based solutions like regenerative agriculture can have the biggest impact on the environment. Empowering farmers: Prioritizing local knowledge and challenges, leads to sustainable practices that farmers are more likely to adopt and maintain. Closing the gap: Foodscapes inform policy changes and market demands that reward sustainable agricultural practices, which create a ripple effect across the food system. Global Collaboration: The framework fosters collaboration between producers, policymakers, and corporations. With Foodscapes, we can cultivate a future where food production nourishes not just our bodies but also our planet. Check out this in-depth interview on how Foodscapes are transforming our approach to sustainable agriculture: https://lnkd.in/g6PM4h-z #sustainableagriculture #regenerativeagriculture #foodsystems #futureoffood

Regenerative agriculture must be about more than just "carbon metrics", it should also maintain healthy soils, preserve water resources and promote biodiversity, says Nicoline van Gerrevink, Rabobank's regenerative agriculture lead. While measurability can be a challenge we must think of making agriculture more regenerative as "a process not a status", adds Ryan Cameron, chief investment officer at London-based Regenerate Asset Management.

SWITCH talks about Regenerative Agriculture! Over the last 60 years, food production has skyrocketed, surging an enormous 390% since 1960. This aggressive increase has taken its toll on our planet, as food production is responsible for almost 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, many agriculturalists and food industry players are now turning to regenerative agriculture as a solution to these issues, transforming the way crops are grown and creating positive outcomes for farmers, consumers and the planet.
