​Beyond the Farm — Why Regeneration Demands a Systems Lens

​Regenerative agriculture doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s woven into a vast web of supply chains, financing models, cultural norms, and policy frameworks. This session unpacks why a systems-level view is essential for scaling regenerative impact—and how investors can think holistically to support transformation across the entire food ecosystem.
