Regenerative Agriculture, Climate Resilience, and Productivity: Lessons from the SLC Agrícola Case

We are pleased to share the study with SLC Agrícola, which provides evidence that regenerative practices increase productivity and offer parameters for investors to allocate capital towards climate-resilient agriculture.

Brazilian agribusiness is increasingly exposed to the impacts of climate change. Prolonged droughts, heat waves, and extreme weather events are already compromising harvests and operating margins. According to Conab, in the 2023/2024 crop year, average soybean productivity dropped by 16% due to heat waves linked to El Niño.

But new evidence shows that regenerative agriculture can change this scenario. Practices such as no-till farming, continuous cover crops, the use of bio-inputs, diversified rotations, and crop-livestock integration strengthen soil health and increase climate resilience.

This makes it possible to turn vulnerability into resilience and financial risk into value creation. The study demonstrates that regenerative agriculture is an effective strategy to reduce climate risk and mobilize long-term capital for a more competitive and sustainable agriculture.

We wish you an excellent read!
