Strategic Financing Initiatives: Increasing Financial Flows to Locally Controlled Forestry
Description
Our featured speaker is Chris Meyer, Director of Business Development at Planting Empowerment. Planting Empowerment manages a complex mix of multiple products, species, and financial sources to facilitate increased financial flows to locally controlled forestry. It combines polyculture agroforestry plantations with a land lease model that generates increased social, environmental, and economic benefits for its land partners and other stakeholders.
Paul McMahon from SLM Partners explores how the sustainability challenges of modern-day agriculture can be solved using ecological, regenerative farming systems that offer superior risk-adjusted returns on investments.
