Transforming Agriculture: The Regenerative Approach of The Land Group

Francisco Roque De Pinho, co-founder of the Land Group, discusses in this episode the transformative potential of regenerative agriculture in South America and beyond.

He shares insights into the practices that make agriculture more sustainable, the challenges faced in implementing these practices, and the importance of capital in driving change. 

The discussion also touches on the role of carbon markets and the future of regenerative agriculture as it gains traction among investors and consumers alike.

The Land Group has been quietly operating since 2016 from a base in Europe. It has acquired, and transformed 40,000 hectares of farmland in South America to drive a regenerative agriculture shift while delivering strong financial returns and asset appreciation.

Formally launching in September of last year, with €120 million assets under management, it’s now ramping up its focus on adaptive-grazing based approaches to regenerative agriculture.
