We just wrapped an really interesting session at Transform Food & Agriculture USA on “Compliance at Scale: Operationalizing Carbon Intensity Scoring for Industry-Wide Adoption.” This was a practical, forward-looking conversation about how to make sustainability measurable, scalable and workable for producers. Amit Pradhan, VP of Strategy at Farmers Edge, shared how their managed services model is helping agribusinesses navigate compliance and carbon scoring with ease. By shifting the burden away from farmers and enabling passive data collection, they’re creating an “easy button” for carbon intensity scoring with economic flexibility built in. Matt Durler, Managing Director at National Sorghum Producers, brought the grower perspective, showing how crops like sorghum are central to advancing low-carbon agriculture. His insights on aligning policy frameworks with real-world farming practices were a powerful reminder that producers must be empowered, not overwhelmed. This session made one thing clear: operationalizing sustainability requires more than ambition. It takes shared standards, smart tech, and bold leadership across the supply chain. #ReutersEvents #Compliance #FarmersFirst #TransformFood

Always exciting to see innovation making a real difference for smallholder farmers 🌱 At the FAO Science and Innovation Forum 2025, I was pleased to join a panel discussion on 'Driving technologies and innovations towards equitable agrifood systems transformation' and the launch of the ATIO Initiative. It was so inspiring to hear perspectives from across the ecosystem- government, research, industry, and civil society alike. At Bayer, our ambitious goal is Health for All, Hunger for None, reaching 100 million smallholder farmers. Achieving this requires three key elements: 1️⃣ Reliable, science-based regulatory systems - ensuring innovative research can quickly translate into products and solutions for farmers. 2️⃣ Comprehensive ecosystems - access to financing, infrastructure, clean water, electricity, and markets, so increased productivity translates into real profitability. 3️⃣ Collaboration across industries and partners - no single organisation can do this alone. Initiatives like TELA, a partnership between the Gates Foundation, Bayer Crop Science, CIMMYT, AATF, and multiple governments, show how joint efforts can transform smallholder farming operations and improve livelihoods for generations. Equitable agrifood transformation is possible, but only when innovation, ecosystems, and partnerships come together. #TeamBayer #FAO #Partnerships #Sustainability #BayerCrops Stefano R. Marras

How trustworthy are certification schemes? Transaction certificate (TC)-based certification systems lack a direct connection between the physical product and the data, and are therefore vulnerable to fraud, duplication, and subcontracting. That's why Regenagri, a leading regenerative agriculture standard, has partnered with Haelixa to provide a certification process that combines the best of traditional chain of custody and forensic verification. This Wednesday, October 8, we're organizing a webinar, where we’ll discuss how the Regenagri Traceability Programme, supported by Haelixa, helps businesses: • Gain 𝗲𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗼-𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 from raw material to final product • Secure 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 that backs sustainability claims with proof • Build 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 to stay ahead of evolving due diligence laws • Eliminate the risk of fibre blending or substitution, 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗲 reaches your customer Join the webinar on Zoom to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dt9JgyMG 📅 Date: 8 October ⏰ Time: 16:30–17:15 CET 🎙 Ivayla Klimentova, Standards manager, Regenagri 🎙 Letizia Scopelliti, Business Development Manager, Haelixa 🎙 Moderated by Amy Nguyen, Founder Sustainable & Social, Contributor Forbes

#RegenerativeAgriculture makes strong business sense. OP2B members show that investments in regenerative farmers result in #better ROIs, both for supply chain actors as well as farmers. However, we need #innovative financing tools to channel capital directly to farms and support the transition to regenerative practices.  🌱 Our OP2B Director, Stefania Avanzini, will be speaking on these topics this week at the 11th annual EU conference on EAFRD financial instruments in Milan, where she will join a panel session focused on “Financing the agri-food value chains and the transition towards sustainable agriculture and regenerative farming.” The conference brings together leaders from across Europe to discuss financing solutions, public-private partnerships, and the future of sustainable agriculture.  Join us in Milan or follow the conversation online using #11EAFRDconf #OP2B #RegenerativeAgriculture #farmers #ROI #finance #Milan

“Regenerative” isn’t just a buzzword anymore—it’s becoming a competitive advantage across the food industry.
