Investing in Sustainable Agriculture: Generating Returns from Environmentally-Responsible Management

In this webinar, Lucyann Murray (Yale MBA/Master of Forestry, ‘17) presents key findings from the report she recently co-authored on sustainable farmland investment strategies. She discusses methods for generating market-level returns as well as next steps for the industry and explores specific case studies featured in the report relating to holistic grazing, water infrastructure, and organic grain crops. Stephen Hohenrieder (Food System and Regenerative Agriculture Investor) discusses the practical ways in which regenerative land management and production practices have been implemented at Hana Ranch and Green Spring Farms. Stephen speaks to how consumers create market opportunities and how infrastructure serves as a gating factor in connecting producers and consumers.
