Can EU's CSRD requirements actually help strengthen your supply chain? We analyzed 1M+ hectares of corn in Europe's largest producer to find out. Looking at CSRD's required climate risk metrics, Romania's corn belt is facing increasing temperatures and heat stress that directly threaten yields. This isn't news for most. But what we found: the same regions in Romania's corn belt suffering from heat stress have a <20% cover cropping adoption rate. Cover cropping is a data-backed method to help corn, a heat sensitive crop, retain moisture and survive increasing temperatures.

WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development's new Guidebook for Landscape Investments is a collection of real-world examples showing how collaboration and innovation can restore landscapes and strengthen food systems. The case studies here help all of us learn, adapt, and accelerate solutions that deliver lasting impact across agricultural landscapes. Our inclusion in the Transforming Rice Value Chains program underscores how science-backed MRV can serve as a foundation for collective progress toward resilient food systems. Trusted MRV data can connect farmers, companies, and governments to shared climate goals, demonstrating why cross-sector collaboration is essential for the future of ag resilience.

Important takeaways from Brussels #NextBite25 this week: collaboration, technology, and well-applied data are key to scaling regenerative agriculture in Europe — with a strong MRV as the vehicle for change. Thanks to Anastasia Volkova, PhD, EIT Food and all the partners driving this work forward.

Who’s heading to Next Bite in Brussels this week? Our CEO Anastasia Volkova, PhD will be speaking on the session, "Regenerative agriculture, finance, data and proof," which explores how to make finance and data workable for farmers and those planning and deploying regen ag programs. We look forward to connecting with attendees from across the sector, from leading policy voices to researchers, corporates and investors. Together we'll gain a better understanding of how to support resilience across our food system. Thanks, EIT Food, for bringing all of us together. If you're attending, catch up with the Regrow team on-site - Anastasia Volkova, PhD and Marie Marion. 📍 Panel: 15 October | 11 AM CET 🔗 More info: https://lnkd.in/emdZ3MmX

Are you overstating your Scope 3 emissions? Many food and beverage companies rely on national averages to report emissions. But our new case study on French barley shows those averages can be misleading. Here's what we found after analyzing 1M+ hectares of barley, and the opportunity it unearths for companies: 1). Emissions intensity for French barley nearly doubled in 2024 due to extreme rainfall, but emissions impacts varied dramatically by region. We saw an 80%+ difference in emissions between neighboring regions. 2). Regenerative barley farmers achieved 67% lower emissions than conventional farmers in France, even in a tough year. 3). This is a big opportunity for companies. Take brewers, for example: scaling regenerative practices across France’s barley belt could abate ~69,000 tons of CO₂e annually, which is a quarter of some brewers' yearly reduction targets.

At Mars Snacking / Unreasonable Food Cohort event at this year's Climate Week, the following insight (thanks Kathryn Polkoff, PhD) stood out to me: Markets and investments will follow if the technology scales. Without scalability, there’s no investment case to support change. This resonates deeply with me. Given Regrow Ag's mission to bring resilience to global agriculture, on all acres on this planet, we have always built solutions that scale, as to enable the true system-wide change. Companies using unscalable methods of data collection like supplier surveys know they won't get all the data they need for reporting, and supply chain visibility (read "risk management"). We’re changing this by allowing companies to trace cradle-to-farm-gate emissions globally... without surveys or added burden on procurement teams. Maybe it's time to take a look vs deploy the next survey? At the end of the day, scalability is what makes change investible! Thanks to our partners at Mars and the other Unreasonable cohort members for a greta discussion.

Are your emissions numbers misleading you? Our new case study on French barley suggests so. Many companies use national average to report on emissions, but they can hide significant regional differences, which means procurement and sustainability teams may be significantly overstating their emissions. 👉 See what we found after analyzing 1M+ hectares of barley: https://lnkd.in/geZQQWms
