reNature

reNature is a company dedicated to promoting and supporting the transition to regenerative agriculture. Founded with the mission of making regenerative agriculture mainstream, reNature addresses both climate change and biodiversity loss while providing food and income for farmers. The company offers agronomical technical support, monitors and evaluates impact indicators, and facilitates access to off-takers and potential carbon markets through their project management services.

In 2022, reNature initiated a campaign to transition 2% of all farmland and farmers globally to regenerative farming by 2035, targeting approximately 10 million farmers and 100 million hectares. The company's approach involves working with farmers to understand their specific financial needs and creating tailor-made financial instruments. reNature vets and submits farmer projects to potential funds, primarily working with asset managers and occasionally with banks like Rabobank.

Key customers and partnerships

reNature collaborates with various stakeholders in the agricultural sector. The company works directly with farmers, receiving over 50,000 project ideas from farmers interested in converting more than 1.2 million hectares of land to regenerative practices. Additionally, reNature engages with corporations to assist them in transitioning toward regenerative agriculture and sustainable agroforestry systems.

The company has partnerships with asset managers and financial institutions to provide funding for farmer projects. reNature also works with Rabobank, a Dutch multinational banking and financial services company, for some initiatives. Furthermore, reNature collaborates with large corporations like Unilever, which has established a USD 1 billion private equity impact fund in partnership with AXA and Tikehau Capital to support sustainable agriculture initiatives.
