Ahead of World Soils Day, Earthworm Foundation and its partners are pleased to invite you to the launch of a new collective and innovative project, bringing together public and private actors, in the continuity of the Living Soils approach, launched in 2018. This ambitious project aims to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture in the Hauts-de-France, by bringing together the key links in the agricultural chain:
Upstream : Agora, Groupe Carré and Unéal
Downstream : Nestlé, Tereos and PepsiCo
Public sector: Agency for the Environment and Energy Management (ADEME)
9:00 to 14:00 CET at the European Investment Bank office in Paris.
This in-person session will explore how financial institutions, corporates, and agricultural actors can work together to make regenerative agriculture a viable and scalable investment opportunity . Participants will discuss the business case, risks, and enabling conditions needed to support this transition across the agricultural value chain.
Key discussions will cover:
Speakers include representatives from EIB , Nestlé , Malteurop , BNP Paribas , Crédit Agricole , Finance Earth , and Earthworm Foundation , alongside farmers and practitioners leading this change.
The event will be held in English and French , followed by a networking lunch .
We're pleased to be partnering with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and Finance Earth to bring together financial institutions, corporates, cooperatives, and civil society organisations in a workshop to explore how Regenerative Agriculture can become a viable investment opportunity across Europe.
As the world gathers in Belém for COP30, a pivotal moment for climate and biodiversity. For Earthworm Foundation, it’s an opportunity to bring stories from the ground into global discussions on regeneration.
Earthworm’s approach is rooted in collaboration, humility, and field experience. At COP30, we aim to deepen partnerships and encourage more people to see what regeneration looks like in action.

Due Diligence and Risk Mitigation in Smallholder Supply Chains - Using the landscape approach to answer EUDR and upcoming regulations.
The landscape approach offers a holistic strategy to identify and tackle prevalent social and environmental risks across many actors. This webinar aims to highlight the efficacy of the landscape approach in bolstering companies' due diligence processes, particularly within the context of smallholder supply chains.
It is thus a particularly important tool for mitigating risks and fostering sustainable commodity production practices. Case examples from coffee, cocoa, and palm oil supply chains will illustrate how a landscape approach can tackle systemic risks in smallholder-dominated supply chains.
