Food and Agriculture

Imagine a world where the food we grow nourishes both people and planet.​

Today, our industrial agriculture system is heavily reliant on extractive practices that harm people and planet. This means of food production degrades natural resources, contributes to climate change, exacerbates water scarcity, and accelerates biodiversity loss. It also traps the farmers who form the base of the agricultural supply chain in cycles of poverty – preventing the people who feed the world from earning fair wages.

This system is unjust and unsustainable. But it doesn’t have to be this way. A regenerative food system offers another path forward.

RSF invests in regenerative food and agriculture enterprises that support biodiversity and soil health, produce healthy food, pay farmers fairly, reduce food waste, and more.

By investing in a regenerative food system, we aim to preserve natural resources, improve rural livelihoods, and increase access to healthy and sustainably produced food.​ Together, we can build a food system that provides enough food for everyone while regenerating the planet it depends on.​
