The growth of agribusiness, prioritizing efficiency and profit, has led to a fragile and broken food system. Recent global events have highlighted how this efficiency compromises resilience. Now, new farm and food businesses are emerging that are profitable while promoting equity, livelihoods, human health, and planetary health. Regenerative agriculture addresses climate change, biodiversity loss, and income inequality. This session features companies and investors working with farmers in East Africa to produce healthy food, create community wealth, and enhance ecosystems.

This interactive session will examine the characteristics of regenerative food businesses, highlight impactful investments, and apply tools to advance a regenerative economy. Participants will join the discussion on how investors can identify regenerative investments and how companies can share their holistic stories by exploring business and investment models; demonstrating the financial viability of regenerative approaches and ways to grow this asset class.
