Partnerships to Unlock Finance for Regenerative Agriculture

​A leading barrier to expanding regenerative agriculture is access to finance that is aligned with farmers’ needs and long-term value creation and resilience. The $500 billion in U.S. agricultural credit is a powerful lever of change, but it must be unlocked to support regenerative transitions through catalytic partnerships.

​This session, hosted by Environmental Defense Fund, will bring together agricultural finance institutions, the agrifood value chain, philanthropy and impact investors to explore how partnerships can drive financial innovation for regenerative agriculture. Grounded in real examples of collaborative financial products, we will unpack the keys to building a successful partnership that creates value for all involved. Food and agriculture companies, impact investors and philanthropy are encouraged to attend; expect to take away a deeper understanding of how to accelerate transformation in regenerative agriculture finance and potential partners for the path forward.
