In June, the Rothschild Foundation and the Environmental Funders Network (EFN) hosted an event for funders at Waddesdon to explore how philanthropy can support regenerative food and farming systems in the UK.

Chair of the Rothschild Foundation, Dame Hannah Rothschild, introduced the afternoon’s talks and confirmed its commitment to building a deeper focus on regenerative food and farming. ‘Philanthropy has the power and responsibility to seek solutions and we are here to discuss what we can do together,’ she said.

The event was overwhelmingly positive. Funders said they want to collaborate, to share learning and establish a strategic funding network to accelerate regenerative food and farming at scale. Several organisations are now discussing the potential to work together.  Read the event blog here.
