In the past decade, companies have boldly committed to reducing carbon emissions in their agricultural supply chains, naming regenerative agriculture as a potential solution. In total, across the top 100 CPG companies, 40.5M acres and >$3.2B of investment are committed under a regenerative agriculture target. However many companies are still grappling with the question: How can we scale the adoption of regenerative practices, beyond these pilot programs?Watch this webinar to learn more about how CIBO has developed a systems approach to designing, deploying, and delivering Scope 3, Low carbon intensity, and public/private programs through our Grower Network Partners.We’ll cover:• What a Grower Network Partner is at CIBO• How CIBO’s Grower Network Partners offer a systems approach to overcome the transition gap to regenerative agriculture• Why companies should be looking at pairing public and private fundingPresented by Billy Cripe, VP of Marketing.

We are pleased to invite you to join us, on Wednesday October 16 from 10:30 to 12:00 (CEST), for an exchange on the recently published discussion paper about designing effective incentives for the transition to soil-health, regenerative farming practices. Within the Horizon Europe-funded project SoilValues, KOIS has mapped public and private incentives available in Europe and in SoilValues’ six testing ground countries (Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and Portugal) and analysed how farmers can be better incentivised to improve soil quality and adopt viable soil-health business models. This event will provide an in-depth look at the key insights and recommendations from the paper, followed by an engaging Q&A session.To read the full Discussion paper go to the discussion papers page of our website: DISCUSSION PAPERS – SoilvaluesFor any enquiries or questions, please contact: Caroline Mahr at caroline.mahr@elo.org or Silvana Limni at ssilvana@koisinvest.comWe look forward to seeing you at the Webinar!Speakers: Silvana Limni - Analyst, KOIS Invest; Matteo Vanzini - Associate, KOIS Invest; Marc Rosiers - Managing Director, MR F&A Consult.
