The Convening to Catalyze Investment in Europe’s Regenerative Agriculture & Food Sector

There’s a diverse and growing ecosystem of organizations working to transform Europe’s agriculture and food system from extractive and degrading to resilient and regenerative. This transition will require profound shifts in mindset, deep collaboration, bold innovation … and capital.

RFSI Europe will explore the critical role capital plays in enabling food systems transformation across Europe and beyond. Presentations, panel discussions, Q&A, round table discussions, pitches and lots of networking will work to connect the dots between the people, organizations, concepts, and strategies that will drive financial results, reduce systemic risks, and – most importantly – build lasting change for soil health, food quality, human nutrition, and planetary well-being.

Pre-Event Workshop: Introduction to Investing in Regen Ag & Food Systems

An afternoon designed for Funders & Investors to Learn Together

Deepen your journey into investing in regenerative agriculture with a special new workshop that takes place the day before RFSI Europe! Enjoy an intimate afternoon of deep learning and engagement with experienced investors and funders already investing in the space – all designed to equip you with a robust foundation for your own investment journey. Designed to compliment the main RFSI Europe program well, the pre-event workshop is a great place to start if you have investing experience but are new to investing in regenerative food systems. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the space and how to invest in it, plus – most importantly – network with and learn from other investors and funders already engaged.

Key questions to be addressed include ➪

What’s driving interest in regenerative agriculture and food systems and why does it present such a compelling investment case?
Where are the greatest opportunities to invest?
What strategies are other funders/investors using to integrate regenerative agriculture into their existing strategies? What lessons have they learned along the way?
What are the best ways to address a seemingly steep learning curve in a complex space and how can one best due diligence a project or fund?
Are other investors and funders measuring impact and outcomes, and if so, how?
How do time horizons, exits, and returns compare to traditional investments?

Plus, we’ll work together to identify common barriers that hold investors back and workshop through how to unlock solutions.

Featured Speakers ➪

All this with the aim to find new financial solutions to finance the transition. Working with the idea “create a business model for the farmer, and he will follow” the strategy is to stack incentives together with supply chain actors to accelerate the transition. Next to that, the Food System Transition team is seeking to enable Rabobank to green its portfolio by building strategies for the bank on upcoming markets that enable more sustainable and healthy food production.

Resilient Returns: The Compelling Financial and Systemic Outcomes of Investing in Regenerative to Agriculture & Food

Anouk Schoors, The Nest Family Office

Across Europe and around the globe, the transition to healthy, regenerative agriculture and food systems is gaining crucial momentum – from farmer to supply chain to retailer to consumer – fueling a compelling case for investment – on that presents tremendous opportunity for financial and systemic impact returns.

9:40 a.m.

Financing the Foundation of Food Systems: Perspectives from Farmers

Iris Claessens, Sierveld; Luke Hasell, The Story Farms; João Valente, Monte Silveira
Moderated by: Tamara Giltsoff, Soil Association Exchange

Farmers are the foundation on which any food system rests. In order to support successful transitions to more resilient and regenerative food systems (and successful investments into these systems), farmer needs – in all of their diversity and complexity – must be supported. Hear from a panel of farmers about what opportunities and obstacles are most significant to them, and what they need from capital allocaters and systems builders.

10:25 a.m.

Building Supply Systems & Markets

Gonzalo Úrculo, Crowdfarming; Edouard Rollet, OSC Fund; Thekla Teunis, Grounded
Moderated by: Peter Wortsman, EFFP

At the heart of transitioning to new systems is that the system transitions together. For example, in order for farmers to transition to new practices and crops, they often need to be assured they will have access to appropriate markets for their goods. Likewise, in order for processors, distributors, emerging brands and retailers to take on new products, they need to be assured of supply. This session will explore who is building supply chains and markets for regenerative products, and what these stakeholders need to be successful in their crucial work.
