Description

To truly scale regenerative agriculture, we need more than better practices—we need better financing. This session centers the voices of regenerative farmers navigating the complex terrain of land access, ownership, and long-term viability.

Through real-world examples and honest reflections, they’ll share how new capital models have helped—and where barriers still persist. Moderated by Dr. Emma Fuller of Fractal Ag, the session will explore how catalytic capital can unlock land transitions, support farmer wealth-building, and build pathways to a more equitable and sustainable food system.

Whether you’re a funder, policymaker, or ecosystem builder, you’ll leave with insights into what it takes to fund regenerative agriculture in a way that actually works for farmers—and where your capital can make a difference.
