Regenerative Agriculture Summit Europe returns to Amsterdam

04.05.2025 194 views

As regulatory pressure intensifies, climate risks accelerate and market demands evolve – regenerative agriculture is no longer optional; it’s a business necessity.

From 8-10 September 2025, the regenerative agriculture community will again gather in Amsterdam for the Regenerative Agriculture Summit (RAS) Europe — the definitive forum for cross-sector collaboration and meaningful progress in the transition to regenerative food systems. Now in its 4th year, RAS 2025 reflects a broader and more ambitious programme and is anticipated to be bigger, broader, and more impactful than ever. As the climate, biodiversity and food security crises intensify, so, too, does the urgency to move beyond pilots and into scalable, systemic change. That’s why this year’s summit goes far beyond soil health, bringing finance, policy, innovation, and nature together under one roof.

Whether you’re a food brand, investor, policymaker, supplier, or farmer, this summit will offer unmatched insight into what’s next for regenerative agriculture – and your role in driving it.

What’s new for 2025?

This year’s summit expands its focus in several key areas, reflecting the rapidly-evolving landscape of regenerative agriculture across Europe and beyond.

Who pays for the transition?

A core theme this year explores the financing models and investment strategies required to de-risk and fund regenerative practices at scale. From blended finance to green bonds and private capital, the conversation is shifting toward implementation, not just aspiration.

Beyond sustainability: language, risk and resilience

Many in the industry are evolving how they talk about regenerative agriculture. Rather than framing it solely as a sustainability issue, there’s a growing emphasis on business risk, supply chain resilience, and the cost of inaction – particularly in the face of climate volatility and tightening regulations.

Policy, compliance and regulation

New and upcoming regulatory frameworks such as the EUDR, CSRD, and CSDDD are transforming the expectations placed on supply chains. RASEU 2025 offers deep dives into how companies can align with these policies, and how they can influence and anticipate what’s coming next.

Nature, biodiversity and water

Carbon is no longer the sole focus. This year, the summit elevates broader ecosystem services, including biodiversity, water stewardship, and natural capital valuation. As new stakeholders and job titles emerge in this space, these topics are central to future-proofing food systems.

Scaling beyond the pilot

Too many regenerative projects remain stuck at the pilot stage. This summit will focus on overcoming bottlenecks to scaling — from farmer incentives and supply chain collaboration to shared data infrastructure and outcomes-based models.

Who’s in the room?

This year’s summit brings together a more diverse and strategic group of attendees than ever before:

  • Even more farmers, including regenerative pioneers and multi-generational producers.
  • Financial institutions — from insurance companies to pension funds and asset managers.
  • Retailers and consumer-facing brands aligning regenerative practices with consumer demand.
  • Policy leads and regulators, shaping frameworks that will define the future of sustainable agriculture.
  • New job titles and functions, from natural capital analysts to regenerative strategy leads.

Join the movement

RASEU 2025 isn’t just another sustainability conference — it’s a working summit for those ready to bolster supply chain resilience and move from intention to implementation.

Whether you’re joining to forge new partnerships, understand regulatory headwinds, or shape your company’s long-term strategy, you’ll find the connections and insights needed to lead.
