State of Play: Regenerative Farming
04 June | 12:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Free – CHF150.00
Our next State of Play event will explore where Switzerland stands today when it comes to regenerative farming. While numerous projects are making strides in transforming the domestic agricultural landscape, the challenge remains: how do we connect these efforts to create a national movement that is both scalable and financially efficient?
Why Switzerland?
Regenerative farming in Switzerland is uniquely positioned thanks to its advanced technical expertise, strong agricultural community, international influence, financial capabilities, and strategic geographic location.
Why now?
In 2025, the Sustainable Development Solutions Network will launch Avenir Alimentaire, a platform dedicated to fostering systemic collaboration in agriculture. As a complement to this initiative, the Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley, in partnership with the Earthworm Foundation and Regenerativ.ch, will focus on the financing aspect of agricultural transformation.This initiative aims to go beyond traditional one-to-one partnerships (e.g., foundation & project, retailer & supplier, company & farmer) and shift towards a holistic, network-driven approach.
By bringing together leaders from across the agriculture sector, State of Play: Regenerative Farming will foster a space for honest reflection, meaningful collaboration, and a shared vision for the future. Through expert insights and interactive discussions, we aim to lay the foundation for a national movement.
Here’s what to expect…
- Knowledge sharing & alignment. Gain insights from key stakeholders across the agricultural ecosystem, including farmers, private companies, suppliers, foundations, and investors.
- Action & implementation. Engage in breakout sessions to strategise on how to bridge gaps and enhance collaboration and to accelerate national transformation in regenerative agriculture.
- Network and share knowledge with farmers, food innovators and large enterprises
The programme and presentations will be delivered primarily in German. Due to popular demand, we will be providing simultaneous translation!
Event is by invite only, Valley Partners and invited organisations can benefit from up to 2 complimentary tickets.
