Soil Upside is evolving to maximize impact. We’re transitioning from a nonprofit to a Public Benefit Corporation with a fiscal sponsor to accept philanthropic donations. We're optimizing to build a software and data business around capital as a force for systems change.

While regenerative agriculture offers long-term benefits, only about 5% of U.S. farmland is in transition.

The reason? Short-term financial risks.

Farmers face delayed cash flows, rising debt service pressure, volatile markets, and limited profitability—leaving little room for error.

Growers are understandably hesitant to make the switch.

Regenerative agriculture is often praised for its environmental outcomes, but the most compelling outcome may be economic.

Regen practices can significantly boost on-farm net profits, land value appreciation, and create new lines of income through the emerging market for ecosystem assets like carbon credits.

With the potential to unlock over $1 trillion in economic upside across U.S. farmland, regen presents a powerful incentive for growers and investors alike.

While there’s widespread interest across the ag value chain, from growers to brands, the financial structures needed to fund regenerative practices are not in place.

Consumers aren’t paying premiums for regen products, institutional investors haven’t built the business case, and traditional ag lenders remain rooted in conventional practices.

The momentum behind regenerative agriculture is undeniable. Large-scale growers to processors, brands, and investors, key players across the supply chain are eager to transition.

But despite widespread interest, the capital needed to drive this shift aren’t materializing.

Agriculture covers half of the world's habitable land and holds the potential to become a powerful climate solution.

By adopting regenerative practices, the U.S. agricultural sector can reach net-zero emissions by 2040.

Improving soil health offers far-reaching benefits beyond carbon sequestration, driving economic gains, environmental resilience, and even social equity.
