As regulatory pressure intensifies, climate risks accelerate, and market demands evolve, regenerative agriculture is rapidly becoming a strategic necessity for companies across the textile and apparel value chain.

No longer a niche sustainability concept, regenerative practices are emerging as a core strategy for ensuring long-term supply chain resilience, reducing risk, and unlocking future profitability.

This September, the Regenerative Agriculture Summit Europe returns to Amsterdam, bringing together a cross-section of the ecosystem, including farmers, brands, investors, retailers, and policymakers, to dive deep into what is now a critical strategy for commercial success.

While regenerative agriculture has traditionally been viewed through the lens of environmental stewardship, businesses are now recognising its tangible business value. In the face of increasingly volatile raw material supply, land degradation, biodiversity loss, and mounting regulatory scrutiny, regenerative practices offer a clear pathway to secure raw materials, meet climate goals, and remain competitive in a fast-changing global market.

The Summit’s expanded agenda reflects this shift, offering concrete case studies and actionable insights from leaders driving real impact at scale.

Key topics

Future-proofing business strategy: Thought leaders from the likes of Wildfarmed, and ofi will outline how regenerative agriculture contributes to climate mitigation, biodiversity restoration, and food system security, and how these outcomes directly translate into long-term value for stakeholders.

Financing the transition and proving ROI: As regenerative approaches become mainstream, stakeholders from Louis Dreyfus Company, Regrow Ag, Nuveen Natural Capital, Soil Capital, and HSBC will explore innovative financial models that reduce risk and demonstrate return on investment - all without passing costs down to farmers.

Integrating regeneration into sourcing strategies: Global procurement leaders from Mars and Oatly will share how they are embedding regenerative principles into supplier engagement, building trust and capability on the ground, and aligning incentives to deliver measurable outcomes.

Meeting stakeholder expectations with nature data: With investor and regulatory scrutiny increasing, companies are under pressure to report on nature-related impacts. Insights from Dr. Oetker, Octopus Investments, and the RSPB will shed light on how robust data can inform better decision-making, enhance resilience, and drive compliance.

For the textile industry, where raw material sourcing is intimately linked to land use and agricultural systems, the implications are clear. Regenerative agriculture is not just a sustainability add-on; it’s a smart investment in the future of your supply chain. It offers a proactive response to emerging risks, an opportunity to differentiate in the marketplace, and a framework to build brand trust with increasingly eco-conscious consumers.

As this transformation accelerates, the question facing the industry is no longer if regenerative agriculture will scale, but how quickly your business can adapt and lead.

The Regenerative Agriculture Summit Europe is your opportunity to engage with the trailblazers making it happen. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this pivotal moment.
