Barriers For U.S. Farmers and Ranchers To Adopt Regenerative Ag Practices: Key Levers & Opportunities

January 13, 2021 @ 3:30 pm 5:00 pm EDT

A deep dive into key barriers for farmers and ranchers to transition towards regenerative practices and highlighting funding levers that can have the most impact.

Presented by: Patagonia

As part of investing Patagonia’s 2019 $10 million tax break dollars, we have worked for the past year to develop a landscape analysis of the key barriers for farmers and ranchers face in transitioning towards regenerative practices nationally. Using an interview-driven research process (with over 300 interviews), we identified key levers that might alleviate these barriers and, subsequently, where current and future funding from philanthropic funders can have the most impact within this context. The goals of this session will be to share the analysis to drive increased collaboration and systems thinking amongst funders and key stakeholders.
