According to the USDA, there are 900 million acres of farmland in the U.S.
Currently, less than 1% is farmed using regenerative and organic practices, meaning that 99% of U.S. farmland continues to receive toxic chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) which poison the soil, plants, water, animals, farmers, and workers while accelerating climate change and producing less nutritious food.
Tragically, median income earned by farm households was estimated at -$1,840 in 2018 according to the USDA, and the farm sector is more than $426.6 billion in debt, much of which is not on farmer-friendly terms. Additionally, farmers have been trained to focus on yield, not profitability.
This partially explains why there’s such a significant opportunity to scale regenerative and organic practices, which have proven to be at least 2x more profitable for farmers. rePlant intends to be a major player in financing this transition and is committed to open source the most efficacious solutions to empower others to finance change with alacrity.
WHAT WE’RE DOING
The Fund
The 10-year flagship Soil Fund is targeting an allocation of 80% loans and 20% equity investments:

Equity investments in the most innovative entrepreneurs looking to disrupt and
redesign the extractive U.S. food system
