Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food

Join me in this interview with Greg Shewmaker, where we take a deep dive into nutrient density of food and how it is becoming possible to assess this on the spot (for example if your apple is full of nutrients or just a sugar bomb).

TeakOrigin is a biochemistry data company located in Boston. As Greg Shewmaker, TeakOrigin co-founder, claims "We know less about the food we eat today than at any other time in history". The system TeakOrigin is building enables a user to accurately assess and understand what changes are taking place within a specific piece of food easily, cheaply and in real-time.

In this special episode of the Regeneration Newsroom podcast Ethan Soloviev and I share our highlights of the Regenerative Food Systems Investment (RFSI) forum that took place in Oakland on Sep 30 - Oct 1. We thought nutrients had a big stage at the forum, while one of the elements missing was biodiversity. The role of farmers in the transition to a regenerative agriculture will be fundamental. Some big companies are ready to push the
transition further.

This time we discussed with Geert van der Veer, co-founder of Herenboeren, their international plans and their land investment fund. Herenboeren helps local communities to buy a farm with 200 families and helps find the right farmer to farm the land in the most productive and regenerative way possible. Producing about 60% of the daily food for the families at prices lower than a supermarket.

Next to the first few farms in The Netherlands, France and Sweden will probably soon have their local version of Herenboeren. We discussed the new farmland investment fund Geert is working on. It will give investors the opportunity to put money to work by investing in a fund that buy land and leases it to Herenboeren through out The Netherlands.

A short summary of the conversation with Aymeric Jung and Josep Segarra of Quadia Capital, using flexible loans to invest over 10M into regenerative food and agriculture companies in Europe.

I had a conversation with Aymeric Jung and Josep Segarra of Quadia Capital who have been investing in regenerative agriculture and food companies for a few years and put more than 10M to work.

Two barriers for investing in regenerative agriculture according to Aymeric and Josep: 

• You have to understand that food isn’t a basic product, it is about life, it isn’t a smartphone. You need to regenerate it. It takes time! Price and costs aren’t everything. Quality vs quantity 
• Long term view. If you think buying high quality food it is too expensive you can reduce your food costs by reducing animal protein. 

Key is externalities, the more they are integrated the easier it is to compete companies with less or positive externalities (which you invested in).

Advice to starting impact investors in regenerative agriculture:

• Look at emerging countries, fair trade isn’t enough, look at the value chain
• Investing in the good companies in Europe, help them to scale and to educate their consumers 

It is too late for being just sustainable we really need to rebuild the economy regeneratively. It’s a new economy we are building!

The Ecosia fund invests in pioneering farming projects anywhere in the world that demonstrate regeneration of soil and financial viability, recreating a healthy, sustainable ecosystem. The goal is to find practices that regenerate the soil and show the world what good alternatives to the currently dominating destructive, animal torturing, climate changing forms of food production look like. In 2018 Ecosia teamed up with Richard Perkins to run the first round. Two applicants received a total of €100,000 investments. The 2019 annual selection round ends on 15th of December.Links discussed in the conversation:

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


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
