Interesting to see regenerative ag getting a platform at Cannes. The film focuses on soil health and carbon drawdown, which are key for nature based offsets.

The storytelling is great, but the real test is the accounting. We need standardized reporting to prove how much carbon these regenerative farms are actually sequestering before it impacts policy.

Soil carbon is a good lever, but I wonder if the film addresses the scalability. Moving from a few expert farms to a global standard requires massive shifts in land tenure and equipment.

Exactly. The labor cost and transition period for farmers to switch methods usually kill these projects if there is no upfront finance to cover the yield gap.
