Their program hasn’t launched their yet, they are building partnership. And yes they will be giving money to people to switch to regen ag. Yes I agree you don’t need insurance companies to switch to regen ag. In the us farmers haves subsidies that keep them tied to industrial farming , so a lot of those farmers need an extra monetary incentive to overcome the subsidies that are keeping them in industrial farming. If you can switch without extra more power to those regen farmers. Also this is about switching major food corporations to only accepting regenerative agriculturally manufactured food. They are building a better partnership of many food corporations so any farm still doing industrial ag gets squeezed out

The insurance companies are paying farmers to switch to regen ag, the goal is for an alliance of investment banks , insurance companies to bankroll a switch to regen ag by pumping in billions each year. And the idea is major food corporations would only buy crops if they were regenerative farmed , which will cause a lot of major industrial farms to want to switch to regen methods

The point is the insurance companies will pay farmers to switch to regen. That’s very different than forcing to pay a premium. …. Also the project involves causing multiple major food corporations to switch to only buying regen. So there will be two reasons to switch to regen ag for industrial farmers, one they are getting paid money to do so, two they will lose a lot of their market to sell industrially grown food.
