Ag ResilienceWorkshop 2025
Join us in Minneapolis
Gather with leaders across wheat and barley supply chains for a focused, half-day workshop on the future of regenerative agriculture. Together, we’ll explore what it takes to grow impactful programs in today’s market—through shared investment, aligned goals, and practical strategy. Come ready to dig into the opportunities ahead: the partnerships you want to build, the programs you want to scale, and the ideas you’re ready to bring to life.
Agenda
This half-day workshop is designed to guide participants through three key focus areas: defining success for wheat and barley programs, identifying the right partnership models and roles, and addressing the technical and structural challenges that come with co-investment, co-claiming, and evolving policies in the sector.
We’ll move from big-picture thinking to practical strategy—grounding the conversation in real business needs, exploring what it takes to collaborate effectively, and building alignment in investment, claims, and reporting.
Regrow CEO and Co-Founder Anastasia Volkova, PhD, will provide opening remarks to start the workshop.
Our first session is designed to turn climate ambition into action. We’ll envision regenerative agriculture programs that deliver real ROI and meet business goals — backed by strong data, clear metrics, and effective partnerships — and discuss what it takes to bring those programs to life. Come ready to connect the dots between your company’s climate goals and strategies to reach them.
In this interactive session, you’ll work through three focused exercises designed to spark strategic thinking and collaboration around program design and partner selection. Together, we’ll explore partnership models, map out roles across the value chain, and identify the structures that can turn ideas into action. Expect hands-on activities and practical takeaways.
How does your company quantify climate impact, and how do you back it up? This session breaks down the latest standards, including the GHG Protocol and SBTi Net Zero guidance, and helps you apply them in program design and outcomes reporting. Through interactive discussion and practical examples, you’ll learn the most effective ways to track emissions, align with emerging protocols, source the right data and collaborate effectively with partners.
We’ll wrap the workshop by reflecting on what we’ve learned and looking ahead. Participants will be invited to share a key insight from the day and pose a question they’re still thinking about — something they’d like to explore further or see addressed in future conversations. It’s a chance to connect, consolidate ideas, and help shape what comes next.

I thought the content was great — I got a lot out of it and met some great people.
I've been to quite a few vendor sponsored summits and yours ranks at the top... the discussions were fruitful and the connections valuable.
I found this small forum to be a huge success and definitely represented the ‘doers’ in the industry.
The level of expertise in the room raised the discussion to a new level, standing out from all other conferences I've attended.
It was an absolute privilege to sit on the panel with this group. A very productive and energizing couple of days.
It is humbling to be in a room of the major thought leaders shaping sustainability and be able to share our solutions to an audience equally hungry for action.
The opportunity to learn from all of you and seek answers together, was high-value indeed, for me.
