Insights

There is growing recognition that natural capital – our soil, air, water, and biodiversity – is fundamental to the future of food and fibre production. But what is natural capital? How do we build it? How can we monetise it? And – how can we accelerate nature positive agriculture at scale, to deliver real climate change solutions?

Join Impact Ag Australia as we deep dive into these questions and more.

IS REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE REALLY JUST “DOING NOTHING?”

Surging input costs are forcing a rethink of how agricultural systems make money. In this month’s feature insight, our MD and CEO, Hugh Killen, explores the difference between input‑led systems and ecosystem‑driven performance. This feature challenges the recent “do nothing” critique of regenerative agriculture, arguing the real divide isn’t conventional versus regen, but risk: how dependent systems are on external inputs, and how exposed businesses become when costs spike and conditions tighten.

PART THREE: REFRAMING REGENERATION SERIES – From narrative to performance: The role of disciplined capital

A new class of investors is recognising that the natural systems underpinning food and fibre production can no longer be taken for granted. They’re fundamental economic infrastructure. And, as with any critical infrastructure, degradation creates risk, while restoration drives value. In Part One of our new series, Reframing Regeneration, Impact Ag Australia’s Head of Portfolio & Investment Management, Bindi Turner, unpacks why sophisticated capital is moving decisively toward ecosystem regeneration – and what this shift means for the future of agricultural investment.

PERENNIALS, PATIENCE, AND PROOF: UNPACKING THE REGEN TRANSITION AT GILGAL

Environmental plantings are no longer just about carbon offsets. When integrated into farm systems, they can stack returns: carbon, biodiversity, productivity, and resilience. Here, Hugh Killen explains how the right design can turn ecological restoration into return.

REIMAGINING ENVIRONMENTAL PLANTINGS – FOR CARBON, BIODIVERSITY, AND FARM PRODUCITIVITY

What if a carbon project could do more than store carbon? What if it could restore endangered habitat? Rehydrate the landscape? Build soil health? Strengthen farms against drought? And drive better productivity and profitability?
