Can Regenerative Agriculture Feed Our Growing Population? | RE:TV

"How can Regenerative Agriculture be scaled? That is the key question."

Food is responsible for a third of all global emissions, but Regenerative Agriculture offers a way of reducing emissions from our food system at the same time as regenerating ecosystems and removing carbon.

The challenge for Regenerative Agriculture is one of scale – how much of the world’s growing population it could feed, how it works in different contexts, and how we measure its potential and impact to encourage investment.

Patrick Holden and Adele Jones from Sustainable Food Trust, Julie Greene from Olam Agri, and Alexander Gillett from HowGood all work at the forefront of the agricultural transition. They share their insights about this growing movement, exploring both its benefits and its challenges.

"If we are fed by nature, we somehow understand our relationship with the world in which we find ourselves. We need to give everyone that opportunity."

RE:TV was founded by His Majesty King Charles III to highlight the innovations and ideas that are emerging in response to the climate and biodiversity crisis.

Inspired by The King’s long-standing commitment to nature, we provide a platform for the growing community of change-makers around the world, raising awareness of the wide variety of technological and nature-based climate solutions that point the way to a better future for us all.

As our founder put it when RE:TV launched in 2020; "there is real hope, but we've got to come together as a world on this."
