“If regenerative has to be organic and if people have to pay a premium for regenerative products, the impact the movement can make for both human and planetary health is going to be significantly diminished. And unless we can start to incentivize arable land in mass to adopt these principles and practices, we are not going to mitigate and or reverse climate change. And we are not going to make a significant impact on improving human health.”
“The needs for innovative financing are really outpacing the support coming to greet those. There's some really cool innovative ideas, but we need to see the organization and capital come behind those ideas for us to go put together proof of concept and scale them. And if we think about CPG, we pour a bunch of money into product innovation, formulation innovation, etc. - we have to think of finance the same way. We have to innovate from a financing perspective and how we capitalize these enterprises.”
