A resilient, regenerative supply chain can bring back the connection between the people who grow our food, and the people who eat it. It benefits all of us - from farmers to consumers - and everyone in between. Here's how: 💰 Farmer Prosperity: By building resilience in the face of climate change, we empower farmers to thrive, ensuring stability and raising income. Supporting regenerative practices not only safeguards livelihoods but also secures our food future. 🧩Future-Forward Thinking: Investing in a resilient supply chain means aligning with evolving consumer demands. From farm to fork, we're shaping a system that adapts to market needs while prioritizing a healthy planet. It's a win for both producers and consumers. 🔍 Transparency and Trust: A trusted certification - and the transparency it brings - plays a critical role in our journey towards regeneration. This empowers consumers to make informed choices, supporting practices that nourish the planet and communities. Each step towards regeneration strengthens our global ecosystem, ensuring a resilient and thriving future for all. When we support a regenerative food system, we invest in everyone's well-being. 🌍 📸: Derek Axten, Axten Family Farms #ResilientSupplyChain #RegenerativeFuture

I believe an important component of a regenerative business model and value chain is the creation of inbuilt win-win-wins. So when regenerative organizations thrive – also financially – life-sustaining ecosystems benefits as well. The organization becomes a… regenerator on the inner and outer level. So for my organization Regenerators it means we channel funds towards indigenous-led projects that prioritize land regeneration, education in regenerative agriculture and protection of forests. Money is a critical ally and I have written in detail about my reflections around our business model in this blog: https://lnkd.in/eUXYkJzx Transparency is key. ”There’s such a stigma around money. Especially among activists. There’s a tendency to see money or payment as inherently evil, or something to hide or be ashamed of. Adding to the point above, I believe that it’s not possible to have sufficient impact on the world without access to capital. What if we could collectively uninstall any negative programming around money and work towards a relationship with money as a sacred ally? What if it could represent the feminine energy of the nurturer, that is here to offer access to the resources we need to dream a regenerative world into being? What is our relationship to money and which emotions does it evoke in us? How do we talk about money? I think a lot of shadow work in this area is urgently needed.” This year we will be channelling a total of €12,000 (€3,000 each) to these four projects (thank you to all who offered input and ideas and for the Regenerators Journey community to come with great suggestions).

I'm reaching out with a sense of transparency and concern about the journey ahead for OG Hemp and similar companies working in the Agri supply chain. Our focus on sustainable products has been at the core of our mission, but the current landscape is presenting unforeseen challenges. As a startup, the path forward isn't always clear, and sometime we feel that we've hit a point where the hurdles seem insurmountable. The market dynamics, driven by cost-cutting measures, are flooded with unsustainable products being sold at alarmingly low prices. It's disheartening to witness the lack of regulations or policies to deter the proliferation of environmentally harmful alternatives. This not only puts us at a competitive disadvantage but undermines the very ethos we are striving to promote. Yet, amidst these challenges, our commitment to sustainability remains unwavering. We believe in the positive impact our products can have on the world, and we are determined to navigate through these stormy waters. It's a plea to our community, fellow startups, and policymakers to recognize the critical role sustainable businesses play in shaping a healthier future. Together, let's amplify the voices advocating for change, push for swifter governmental support, and foster an environment where sustainable choices are not just encouraged but protected. The road may be tough, but our passion for a sustainable world fuels our resilience. Your support and shared commitment to sustainability can make all the difference. Let's forge ahead, even when the path seems uncertain. #Sustainability #StartupChallenges #naturalfibers #plantbasedalternatives #FutureOutlook #TogetherWeCan #hemppaper 🌿💚

A new report from World Economic Forum lays out a breakthrough model for financing and collaboration to support farmers and accelerate the transition to sustainable food production. Research on more than 50 U.S. regenerative agriculture programs informed the report's findings, which highlight how capital and capabilities can be coordinated and deployed more effectively to address economic, technical, and social barriers to farmer adoption. Our members Bayer, Environmental Defense Fund, Nutrien Ag Solutions, PepsiCo, and Unilever and partners Practical Farmers of Iowa and Precision Conservation Management contributed to the report.
