Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food

230 Neal Spackman - Why it is so difficult to get truly regenerative water and ecosystem restoration projects funded


Listen Later

A check-in interview with Neal Spackman, founder & CEO of Regenerative Resources Co, on why it has proven to be quite difficult to get his RSA Regenerative Seawater Agriculture project funded. We also talk about mangrove restoration projects, why investors are not jumping on top of it, what he has learned over the last 6 months of brutal painful pitching and hearing no, and more.

What if there was a way to restore coastal ecosystems while creating a sustainable circular economy? Discover how their unique approach to mangrove restoration and seawater agriculture can out-compete traditional industries and provide a more sustainable and nutritious food source for aquaculture.

We explore the challenges Neal Spackman has faced in securing funding and support for RSA project, from building trust with local communities to communicating the value and potential of their circular regenerative system to investors. We also delve into the development of carbon payment markets in Australia and the long-term investments made by the Danish pension fund. In addition, we touch upon Neal Spackman's partnership with One Tree Planted and their mangrove restoration project in Mexico.

Imagination and the power of the first investor taking a risk can lead to a domino effect in funding, driving the growth and success of projects like RSA.
