Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food

Will precision fermentation really be 100 times more land efficient, produce 10-25 times more feedstock and be 10 times more water efficient? And what does it do with nutrient density and healthcare? An interview with Catherine Tubb of RethinkX, co-author of the “Rethinking Food & Agriculture” report.

Catherine's work focused primarily on disruption in the agriculture and food industries. She is the co-author, together with Tony Seba, of “Rethinking Food & Agriculture 2020-2030: The second domestication of plants and animals, the disruption of the cow and the collapse of the industrial livestock industry". The report shows how the modern food disruption, made possible by rapid advances in precision biology and an entirely new model of production, will have profound implications not just for the industrial agriculture industry, but for the wider economy, society, and the environment.This interview with Catherine might be uncomfortable for some in the regenerative food and ag space, who will struggle to call this real food.

Regardless if this is happening as RethinkX claims, I think we need to pay attention to the developments, investment flows and potential impact on industrial animal farming (which would be great), farmers (not so great) and agriculture land (mixed prospects). I had and still have a lot of questions about nutrients, hormones and healthcare implications of these developments. But I also have them about industrial animal farming. So I invite you to listen to the interview, read the report and share your feedback!

A summary of the longer interview with Armin Steuernagel, entrepreneur in food, co-founder of the Purpose Network and impact investor. The Purpose Network helps companies to stay independent and mission driven for the long term. They believe that by innovating the way companies are owned, financed and governed, companies become more successful in the long run and can benefit all of society. Steward-owned companies make a legally binding commitment to their employees and customers: that the company is not a speculative good or commodity but a group of people working for a purpose.

Over the last 7 years they have invested over 250M in 18 properties across Canada and recently made their first regenerative sustainable deal.

Farmers get 100 percent of the income and appreciation from their portion of the joint venture, plus 15 percent of the income and appreciation from the portion owned by Area One Farms. In addition to the land, Area One Farms will also share in the cost of equipment and grain storage. Each deal is designed around the needs of the particular farm operation. No rent or other expenses are charged by Area One.

Judith wrote Cows save the Planet and Water in Plain Sight, both highly recommended when you want to learn more about what is possible with soil and agriculture.

Full interview with Judith, links and show notes:
www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2017/06/05/judith-d-schwartz. 

We discussed how she ended up looking at Soil and why she is so enthusiastic about nature's way of solving issues.

• How does natural systems work to manage a particular problem? (in this case heat or carbon)
• Plants are running the show
• Plant life is cooling the planet 
• Plants manage water and by managing water they manage heat 
• We 'devegetated' about 25% of the planet with pavements, buildings, industrial agriculture and deforestation 
• Financial system doesn’t make any sense because we are rewarded for things that don’t create any wealth but from extraction (it only makes sense in the short term) 
• Most people don't know that we can restore large scale ecosystems

The short summary of the check-in interview with Tony Lovell, co-founder and CEO of SLM Partners an asset manager that acquires and manages rural land on behalf of institutional investors, to scale up regenerative, ecological farming and forestry systems.

I interviewed Tony before in October 2016 as the second interview ever on this podcast, and I'm very happy to check in with him again and see how things have developed in the last almost three years.

SLM's fund thesis is to double carrying capacity and half the cost of production, be a large scale, low cost producer of high quality grass fed protein.

We talk about:

• the carbon project of SLM
• how they handled the six driest years on record
• what they did during those years
• how to match stocking rates to carrying capacity
• what you do when the rain finally comes
• how SLM was going broke slower than anybody elseIt takes time!

Tony: Investors in regen ag need to have an overall picture that's at least a 15 year investment horizon. So when they start there in 15 years and they probably need to look at it in year 5, in year 10 and not worry about in the middle.
