Regeneration 101 — Understanding the Soil-First Revolution
What if agriculture could heal rather than harm? In this foundational session, we explore the core principles of regenerative agriculture and how it goes far beyond sustainability to actively restore ecosystems, soil health, human health and community resilience. Perfect for investors seeking to understand the biological, ecological, and ethical groundwork of this emerging movement—and why it’s poised to reshape the food system.
