The comments, messages, and offers to collaborate have been both humbling and heartening. Thank you to everyone who reached out—framework builders, researchers, and systems thinkers who saw themselves reflected in this vision. The past month has been a whirlwind—New York Climate Week, the gathering of the Collabortative for Systemic Climate Action, and wrapping up Cohort 5 of the RegenIntel Fellowship. Amid this beautiful complexity, one truth keeps resurfacing: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹. The desire to weave our frameworks together, to create 𝘤𝘰𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 rather than 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, is stronger than ever. That’s what 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 is about—not another “One Ring” framework, but a quilt. A living, evolving tapestry that honors the diversity of tools, models, and wisdoms we already have. If you commented, messaged, or simply want to be part of this collective effort, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out at thepatchwork@regenintel.earth and join the Fellowship of the Quilt! We’ll be following up soon with more details on the plan, gatherings, and how to get involved. 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹. 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴—𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

#Regenerative and #Climate education should be free. High-quality education, that is, not the weak stuff spouted by ChatGPT or Google. The kind of education that touches you, changes your worldview, and does more than just make you think. It makes you act. If we truly believe regeneration is so crucial to our sustained future on this planet then enclosing it behind paywalls is really contrary to the shared outcomes we need. So why do we charge $2,200 at RegenIntel for our Fellowship programme? This is a question we’ve struggled with. Undeniably it costs money to run the programme. Highly expert instructors need to earn a living, infrastructure is not free, and neither are our rents. Even harder is the undeniable fact that the people who need it most — committed activists, climate scientists, and startup founders — are those least able to afford it. Not only do they *need* it most… they are the most likely people to make a lasting *impact*. We’ve tried to balance this out by providing dozens of scholarships, free masterclasses, and public talks. But we’ve always wanted to go a step further. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲.

This #WorldFoodDay, we are reminded that food is far more than what ends up on our plates. It is culture, history, labor, land, water, climate, and community all intertwined in complex systems that shape life on Earth. Yet today, 30–40% of food produced is never eaten, contributing roughly 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, while over 800 million people go hungry every day. These numbers reveal both urgency and possibility: the challenge isn’t a lack of solutions, but the need to align our systems, knowledge, and actions with what is already known to work. As Charles Michel, Food educator, experience designer and artist reminds us: “Food Literacy Can Change the World.” Food literacy means seeing food as a system, from soil to table, farm to policy, harvest to culture and recognizing that every decision cascades across landscapes, oceans, and communities. Through Drawdown, we identified solutions that are viable, scalable, and regenerative and of the top 20 strategies to enact change, 8 are rooted in food systems from reducing waste and adopting plant-rich diets to regenerative agriculture and silvopasture. Implemented together, these solutions create cascading benefits: healthier soils, restored ecosystems, thriving communities, and more equitable food systems.   At RegenIntel we are taking the next step, accelerating implementation across culture, policy, markets, and education to cultivate interconnected, regenerative impacts that ripple through communities, ecosystems, and food systems And as these impacts unfold in our daily lives, we might ask: if our plates told the story of a thriving planet, what would that story taste like, and how might it nourish what is emerging? :) 

🌍 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Alongside my friend and RegenIntel Cosmos Star Melanie Larkins, I’m honored to be giving one of the opening keynotes tomorrow at Climatica 2025 — a gathering of investors, innovators, and visionaries designing the future of climate solutions. We know that solving climate change isn’t just about reducing harm while sustaining business-as-usual — it’s about rebuilding the systems that allow all life to thrive and prosper. It’s about shifting from an economy of extraction and exploitation to one of regrowth and regeneration — where every solution creates cascading benefits for people and the planet. My talk, “From Drawdown to Regeneration,” explores how we can activate humanity to become a planet-positive species by integrating scientific rigor, Indigenous wisdom, and regenerative design into every decision we make. We have the solutions. The question is: will we have the courage and imagination to implement them at the scale this moment demands? Let’s build the regenerative future — together. #Climatica2025 #Regeneration #ClimateSolutions #SystemsThinking #PlanetPositive #RegenIntel Savia Ventures | Reciprocal | Bono | Mexican Association of PE & VC Funds (AMEXCAP) | Ruedata - Brasil | WAS Co. | WORTEV

🌈 What better way to honor #WorldFoodDay than by seeing regenerative solutions in action on the ground? 🌞 When Solar Meets Soil: Growing Farmers & Growing Foods in Minnesota - The Case of North American Agrivoltaics Award for Best Solar Farm in 2024: Imagine acres of solar panels, usually just soaking up sunlight, becoming fertile classrooms, farms, and communities. At Big River Farms, that’s exactly what’s happening. Through the Solar Farmland Access for Emerging Farmers program, underutilized spaces around solar arrays are now producing vibrant specialty crops while giving BIPOC and immigrant farmers the land access, mentorship, and regenerative skills they need to thrive. The cascading benefits are fruitful: ✓ Environmental regeneration: Crops under solar panels improve soil health and water management. ✓Food system resilience: Local abundant crops diversify and strengthen the community’s food supply. ✓ Community & equity: Farmers gain leadership and economic opportunities, and communities reconnect with the land in meaningful ways. As Elizabeth Sawin describes this is multisolving in action, the unfolding of what we in same synergy at RegenIntel call cascading benefits, where interconnected solutions amplify one another.

Happy National Mushroom Day 🍄 Mushrooms are more than a delicious food... They are vital soil allies: 🌱 Forming underground networks that connect plants 🔄 Recycling organic matter into new life 🧩 Building soil structure and storing carbon Fungi are the quiet engineers of regeneration, linking soil health, biodiversity, and human wellness. Today, let us honor the fungi that sustain life and remember Healthy Soil = Healthy Food = Healthy People Learn more about the soil food web in our Regenerative Agriculture Essentials course: https://lnkd.in/gMB4yAhW #KissTheGround #NationalMushroomDay #Regeneration #SoilHealth #Fungi #Mycelium #RegenerativeAgriculture #Mushrooms

But the most effective impact emerges when we work with systems - seeing how land, water, energy, and communities interconnect. Those who embrace this understanding create space for emerging solutions, novel ideas, and outcomes that exceed what they once imagined in their careers, their roles, and beyond. The great news? Hundreds are already stepping into this way of being.   For those ready to push the boundaries of what is possible—both in shaping the next era of climate work and leading real-world regenerative projects, RegenIntel 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻: https://lnkd.in/gS8uHY24    𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻: ✓𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 - 100% self-paced ✓ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱-𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀 across business, energy, communications, the build environment, land, ocean, and agriculture ✓ 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 not found anywhere else ✓ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 for support and collaboration ✓ 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: https://lnkd.in/gJAg4sB6
