Regenerative Agriculture grants — page 5
754 listings tracked right now · page 5 of 16
Regenerative ag funding sits at the intersection of climate, food, and rural development, which means the funder landscape is unusually broad. Sovereign programmes (USDA NRCS, EU CAP eco-schemes, UK DEFRA SFI), MDB lines (World Bank, IDB), corporate-supply-chain commitments, and a thick layer of philanthropic capital (Bezos Earth Fund, Rockefeller, ClimateWorks) all fund here. Listed below are the open regenerative agriculture grant calls in that landscape, taken from each funder's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.
This is the most fragmented funding landscape on the site. Money comes from agriculture and environment ministries, the EU Common Agricultural Policy and Horizon Cluster 6, the World Bank and IFAD, and a large conservation philanthropy sector including the Global Environment Facility and the major nature foundations. Cheque sizes span four orders of magnitude, and eligibility frequently turns on land tenure, on partnership with a local organisation, or on both.
This page lists open regenerative agriculture grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 754 of them right now, sorted with the soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, so what appears here is regenerative agriculture work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.
The funders publishing regenerative agriculture grants here include Earlymarket, Demeter, EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF for Africa), among 2 others. Who is funding matters as much as what: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between funders than between individual calls.
Geographic coverage on this page spans GLOBAL, SUBSAHARAN-AFRICA, AFRICA, EUROPE, GLOBAL-SOUTH. Eligibility is usually tied to where the work happens or where the applying organisation is registered, and the two are not always the same — worth checking before investing time in an application.
