Opening Panel // Monetizing Resilient Practices: Can GHG Reduction and Regenerative Farming be Transformed into New Revenue?

09 Apr 2026
Auditorium
Main Stage
  • What are the main barriers to deploying GHG-reducing solutions, and how can these solutions be integrated into broader sustainability strategies? How much confidence is there in carbon credits and ecosystem services as a reliable incentive for adoption?
  • With many previous US climate grants no longer active, what emission reduction targets are food corporates setting, and how are they partnering with farmers to meet them?
  • What technologies, such as satellite monitoring, are helping track GHG emissions and grazing efficiency in pasture-based systems?
  • How are innovations like virtual fencing advancing sustainable pasture management and what measurable economic benefits are regenerative farmers seeing?
  • Which GHG management solutions show the most promise for farmer adoption, such as seaweed, enzyme or chemical derived additives, gene editing, or vaccines? Is there a viable market for productivity-neutral inhibitors, and what lessons emerge now that the initial hype has calmed down?
