His main advice in short is: "Forget about soil health, but focus instead on plant health".

On 18 June 2019, the TEG published a report on EU Taxonomy, which takes on board the feedback received on the first round of proposed activities and the input from the additional experts. The report is accompanied by a short user guide, which provides a quick overview of what the taxonomy is, what it is not, and how to use it in practice, and by a summary of the technical reportThe TEG opened a call for feedback on its report on EU taxonomy. The call for feedback will be open until 13 September 2019 COB. In the autumn, the TEG will analyse the responses and advise the Commission on how to take the feedback forward.

Main points:

• Why this is important to impact investors interested in soil
• Why this is also key for not European investors or investors not operating in the EU
• What happens next
• Process vs outcome based

Transition finance is key to help many more farmers and growers start the transition to organic and regenerative. The Perennial Fund is going to experiment with a new concept!

----------------------------------------------------------- 

The Perennial Fund invests $75-150 per acre per year into the farm 

• For 3 years to transition to organic 
• In exchange for a 10-25% net profit share after they’re certified organic 
• Until 1.5x the initial investment is returned 

The per acre investment amount is determined by the overall capital needed to facilitate a successful organic transition. Farmers do not pay back the fund until they are making net profits. The expected IRR is 9% over 10 years, though successful payback is conservatively expected to take 5 years. If the investment is not repaid at 1.5x after 10 years, the remaining amount owed will be forgiven.

A key piece is the market access, Pipeline foods (we have interviewed Eric earlier) buys the crops in the 3 year transition and provides a long term off take agreement for the organic crops

I had the great pleasure to interview Sean Kidney, chief executive and co-founder of the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI).Climate Bonds Initiative

Main Take aways:

• We can't afford a niche market here. We have to be able to engage the mainstream portfolio managers around the world. So these bonds walk and talk like an ordinary bond similar yield similar coupon.
• In Europe agriculture is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, for example working with the agricultural sector is a vital thing now.
• We have to look at the Economic Development of the society around the natural capital assets and how do we make those richer and have a different economic path than destruction of capital assets.
• Preservation of the national capital is critically important as well as the increase in sequestration of soils and the regrowth of forests and changing of practices to reduce emissions at farm level.
• We need to work on our global ecosystems to make them more resilient by improving their biodiversity and their ability to be able to respond to extreme climatic shocks or weather shocks.
• The lending to the green sector will be materially cheaper than lending to non green sectors

After Nicolas Verschuere's panel at Groundswell on "How regenerating soil health can improve farm profitability from year one", we dive a bit deeper into the start of the regenerative transition.

Nicolas argues there is another more gradual way than diving deep into the J curve. As any farmers don’t have the resources to finance the transition and take cuts in yields and profitability.
