Regenerative Agriculture: Growing Pains?

About this event

Regenerative agriculture is the key to our future.

It increases soil carbon, biodiversity and climate resilience. It improves water quality, regenerates the land and provides good livelihoods for farmers.

More companies and farming organisations are taking regenerative agriculture seriously than in the past. Many are now seeing it as an essential strategy to achieving net zero commitments and offering an alternative to unsustainable, intensive agriculture.

However, challenges remain regarding how to bring regenerative agriculture to scale. The process of transitioning from conventional agriculture to regenerative agriculture within supply chains is only now starting to be more widely explored. Questions remain about the strategies that work, the costs involved, the partnerships required and the inclusion of smallholder farmers.

Practical Action, in partnership with IDH – The Sustainable Trade Initiative, is hosting this event to explore the challenges and opportunities of bringing regenerative agriculture to scale. Moderated by Sarah Roberts, CEO of Practical Action, this event will bring together experts from across the agriculture system to explore the role of collaboration and multi-stakeholder action across sectors to advance equitable and regenerative food systems, and to share experience of successful partnerships.

Speakers:
Martina Henry, Global Head of Regenerative Agriculture, Diageo
Martine Jansen, Head of Supply Acorn, Rabobank
Tessa Meulensteen, Programme Manager (Coffee), IDH – The Sustainable Trade Initiative
