Ask Me Anything Webinar – Dec 15th, 2021

On December 15th, 2021 we run a AMA Webinar with Koen van Seijean, an opportunity to come together and ask Koen and everyone else on the call their burning questions regarding building a regenerative food system.

Thank you so much for coming on the Ask Me Anything webinar and all your great questions and discussion!

Some things we discussed:

How Koen would invest and grant $1b:
– Mostly focussing on food companies which can develop food as medicine lines.

Transparency
Lindsey Boyle of the Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture mentioned: investing in BCorps may help improve transparency as BCorps get points towards certification for transparency (I’m simplifying but BCorp is encouraging).

And a question to mulch over during the holidays (let me know your thoughts in the comments below:

Should companies outside food & ag supply chains be able to fund and claim GHG credits generated inside food & ag supply chains? Or should those claims only be available to the companies that make up the supply chains themselves? (Matt Schmitt)
