Regenerative Agriculture Summit is back for its fifth edition, and is expanding its focus to long-term resilience across ingredient and raw material supply chains.
As climate risk intensifies, conventional farming is under strain. Soil health is declining, yields are falling, and supply volatility is rising, making the need for resilient alternatives urgent.
This track explores how regenerative agriculture is moving from pilots to a core strategy for securing supply, protecting business continuity, and managing climate risk.
Sessions cover regenerative practices, innovative finance, AI-driven risk mapping, and cross-industry collaboration to strengthen supply chains while maintaining commercial viability and sustainability. It is designed for leaders ready to move beyond commitments and build profitable, future-ready supply systems.
