Common Ground: Bridging Food Strategy and Farmland Capital

​Achieving resilient, regenerative food systems requires aligning capital with the land. That capital is closer than the food industry realizes.

​Natural resource investors and the capital they manage — institutions like Manulife Investment Management and PSP Investments — own tens of millions of acres of the farmland food supply chains depend on. They've already built rigorous, scalable sustainability infrastructure around those assets. That work represents significant untapped leverage for achieving regenerative and resilience targets, but it rarely surfaces in the food industry conversation.

In this session, leading natural resource investors share how their businesses approach sustainability, what they've built, and what it would take to connect that work to food company goals.

Attendees leave with a concrete picture of investor-grade agricultural sustainability in practice and insight into what aligning capital and food systems could unlock.
