The suit in London and the farmer in Argentina need to start speaking each others language. The first one needs to learn the challenges of farming, the farmer needs to understand the level of reporting and milestones the fund manager needs to raise capital. 

If Chuck could change one thing: he would come up with a KPI to measure soil carbon and the correlation to financial returns. Chuck’s advice for investors: 

  1. Meet with regenerative farmers and have meaningful conversations
  2. Talk to investors who have been allocating capital to regenerative agriculture for a couple of years
  3. Plus learn about the food sector at large and the global challenges


Thoughts from the episode:

  • When you demonstrate that the right economic choice is regenerative you will completely transform how money is allocated in agriculture. And there are trillion of dollars invested in agriculture
  • If you want to drive meaningful environmental change you are going to need to make it more profitable
  • Carbon seems to be the best proxy for the (health of the) rest of the agriculture sy
