This March Cooperative Coffees and Sustainable Food Lab joined us to present on structuring and financing rigorous, science-driven regenerative agriculture pilots that build in climate justice considerations from the ground up. This is a fantastic session for companies looking to finance regenerative agriculture transitions in their supply chains, and tackle climate justice alongside their regenerative projects.

Erin Callahan hosted a moderated panel for Session 3 of the Regenerative Earth Summit with:

• Bethany Davis, Director of Advocacy and Government Affairs, MegaFood
• Britt Lundgren, Director of Organic and Sustainable Agriculture, Stonyfield
• Bryce Lundberg, VP of Agriculture, Lundberg Family Farms

This panel explored the key avenues and best practices for companies looking to move beyond supply chain work on regenerative agriculture by supporting systems change at the policy level. 

Join the Climate Collaborative and ReFED for a session diving into new best practices and insights around food waste reduction and prevention! The ReFED Insights Engine is a data and solutions hub for food loss and waste, designed to provide anyone interested in food waste reduction with the information and insights they need to take meaningful action to address the problem.

We kicked off the session with a keynote from Michelle Romero, National Director of Green For All. We then hear from Dr. Bronner's and Pukka Herbs on how they're navigating the intersectionality of climate and racial justice, and what their journey has been like in helping shape the Climate Justice Playbook. The CC partnered in developing the Playbook with B Lab, The Skoll Center for Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford University, and UNFCCC, and features interviews and profiles from companies like Guayaki, Happy Family Organics, Seventh Generation, and Allbirds.

The CC was invited to convene a conversation for ShiftCon to inspire and engage top influencers on the urgency and imperative of climate action. We hosted a moderated conversation with Gina McCarthy, Jamie Margolin, Reverend Yearwood from the Hip Hop Caucus, and Tamara Toles O'Laughlin from 350.org.

We're excited to share a policy primer from Dr. Leah Stokes of what's ahead for 2021 and beyond! Dr. Stokes is an Assistant Professor at UC Santa Barbara, as well as the author of Short Circuiting Policy. She's also a contributor to All We Can Save. She's also the co-host of the podcast A Matter of Degrees.

In October, we heard directly from farmers on regenerative practices, the support they need in making transitions, and ways brands of all sizes can support farmers and farm-level regenerative transitions. In this session, you'll hear directly from Bob Quinn, Dr. Bronner's, and Lisa French, a participant with General Mills pilot project. Don't miss this conversation!
