Bright Tide, a leading sustainability consultancy, launched the Regenerative Farming Accelerator Programme – an initiative aimed at supporting regenerative farming ventures, both on land and in the ocean. The program's goal was to nurture these impact-driven organizations, facilitate connections with the private sector and investment community, and ultimately drive the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. However, despite its innovative approach and pressing relevance, the Accelerator faced the challenge of limited visibility and awareness within the broader sustainability landscape.
