Brandon Welch, Perennial fund, investing and profit sharing to get farmers to organic and beyond

Transition finance is key to help many more farmers and growers start the transition to organic and regenerative. The Perennial Fund is going to experiment with a new concept! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture.

Farmers do not pay back the fund until they are making net profits. The expected IRR is 9% over 10 years, though successful payback is conservatively expected to take 5 years. If the investment is not repaid at 1.5x after 10 years, the remaining amount owed will be forgiven. A key piece is the market access, Pipeline foods (we have interviewed Eric earlier) buys the crops in the 3 year transition and provides a long term off take agreement for the organic crops https://soundcloud.com/investinginregenerativeagriculture/35-interview-eric-jackson https://soundcloud.com/investinginregenerativeagriculture/53-eric-jackson https://www.madagriculture.org/ If you want to know more get in touch through the website: https://www.theperennialfund.com/ --------------------------------------------- If you want to discover more visit www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com If you want to receive an email when I upload a new episode, subscribe here eepurl.com/cxU33P The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.
