Shifting to global agricultural practices that help regenerate the Earth while still nourishing people around the world will require a combination of regenerative solutions, innovations, and the right types and amounts of funding. Recently, I experienced firsthand a few of the challenges of our complex food supply chains during a month-long local food challenge. Through my work with the Sorenson Impact Institute, I have the opportunity to learn from leaders in the food and agriculture sector who are pursuing more sustainable and regenerative food and agricultural systems. Renée Vassilos, Director of Agriculture Innovation at The Nature Conservancy, is working with early-stage technology companies that aim to expand and accelerate the use of regenerative agriculture practices. She admits to being "mildly obsessed with soil" and counts the soil microbiome as "the most impactful part of our ecosystem."
