Farmers Business Network® (FBN) and Environmental Defense Fund today announced the launch of the FBN Regenerative Agriculture Finance Fund one of the first U.S. agricultural financing programs to reward farmers who meet soil health and nitrogen efficiency standards through access to lower rates and fees, as well as agronomic insights to optimize the on-farm benefits of regenerative practices.
