As part of San Francisco Climate Week, we are bringing together leading innovative agriculture lenders, market analysts, and investors to move beyond theory into the tangible practice of financing those at the forefront of better agricultural lending and credit. This session will highlight successful financial models and investment opportunities to support small American farms and ranches. As environmental pressures intensify and traditional farm credit falls short, numerous smaller, farm-focused lenders across the country are stepping up to make ecological, climate, and financial resilience more achievable. The program will concisely frame the role of soil health and regenerative agriculture as a significant opportunity for climate-resilient investments, followed by a showcase of alternative lenders actively deploying capital.
