European Regenerative Ag & Food Finance Map

There is an increasing number of individuals and organizations engaged in building regenerative agriculture and food systems around the globe.

At Lively Earth we recognize the importance of building a community in order to effectively act as a collective.

We serve this mission in many ways – education and connections being a part of our work alongside financing – but an important first step in building an ecosystem is understanding who the capital players are.

To support the growth of Regen community in Europe, we are thrilled to release an updated Regenerative Ag & Food Finance Ecosystem map along with our partner Regenerative Food System Investment (RFSI), a US Based group working across diverse groups of funders and stakeholders to mobilize more capital for regenerative food and agriculture projects.

For us a “capital ecosystem for regenerative agriculture and food systems” means:

• There is enough capital coming into the system to fuel the expansion of regenerative agriculture and food (and its positive outcomes)
• The capital is aligned with the unique needs and diverse goals of regeneration
• The capital is diverse and can serve the space in the myriad of ways it is needed across the value chain and across geographies
• There is continual innovation in how the capital is put to work by both funders and solution builders on the ground

So, what does the regenerative agriculture and food funding ecosystem look like in Europe today? Have a look at the map to learn who is working to fund regenerative agriculture and food across Europe today.

A bit on methodology:

Organization selected to be included in this map have met one or more of the following criteria:

• Are funding or investing in projects in Europe
• Have regenerative agriculture and/or food systems embedded in their core thesis
• Have already made investments in regenerative projects or funds
• Show consistent alignment with the goals of regeneration within their portfolio (even if the entire portfolio is not within the agriculture and food space)

Please note: smaller, country specific funders may not be included here.
