Biodiversity

FAIRR’s thematic report on regenerative agriculture and the role of the investor is to assesses the growing number of regenerative agriculture commitments across 79 publicly listed agri-food companies to understand whether these are meaningful enough to deliver climate and nature goals. Regenerative agriculture has gained considerable traction within the agri-food sector as a way of reducing the environmental and social harm associated with conventional production practices. Although there is no universally accepted definition, the practices associated with regenerative agriculture focus on positive environmental and social outcomes

This webinar explored the key takeaways from the first dialogues of our biodiversity, Waste & Pollution Collaborative Engagement. It also offered members a preview of FAIRR's upcoming work on regenerative agriculture and biodiversity-wide scenario analysis.

FAIRR launched a new workstream on Regenerative Agriculture. Our assessment of 75 of the largest listed agri-food companies shows that regenerative agriculture is becoming a prominent feature in sustainability strategies, appearing in nearly 60% of these companies’ publicly available filings. However, significant variability in disclosures related to the extent of coverage, representative metrics and effective targets highlights the need for a deeper assessment of what investors can glean from regenerative agriculture commitments and whether they can positively impact portfolio carbon and biodiversity goals.
