Ethan Soloviev, chief innovation officer at HowGood, argues that the main barrier to scaling regenerative agriculture is not defining or proving its worth, but rather unlocking much greater financial flows to farmers. The sector has broad consensus on its benefits, yet lacks sufficient financial mechanisms, with collaboration needed between banks, insurers, food companies, and local partners to de-risk and finance agricultural transitions. Soloviev emphasizes that effective solutions are likely to emerge at regional levels through coordinated initiatives, and that the focus is shifting from debates about definitions to practical deals and investment. Despite political headwinds around ESG and net-zero, companies continue to invest in regenerative practices for business resilience, but the scale of investment remains far too small.

Corteva has entered a multi-year R&D partnership with UK-based Moa Technology to accelerate the discovery of novel herbicides, signaling a shift toward combining external innovation with in-house research as the company prepares to split its Seeds and Crop Protection businesses. The collaboration, focused on tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, exemplifies Corteva’s broader strategy of supplementing internal expertise with technology from startups and specialist partners through initiatives like Corteva Catalyst. This approach, highlighted by additional collaborations with companies such as AgPlenus, Micropep, Hexagon Bio, and FMC, provides a blueprint for Corteva’s future as a standalone crop-protection company.
