California—responsible for 80% of the world’s almond production—is likely to face major?declines in almond production area?due to water supply issues. In light of this reduction, new regions may emerge as potential growth zones. In southeast Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, improved weather conditions?are making the area increasingly viable for almond farming. While groundwater resources appear to be fully allocated, opportunity remains --?intense rainfall may generate runoff that’s currently going uncaptured. By?capturing and managing this runoff in a way that first, does not take away from people and the environment, we can create a?sustainable water source?for almond cultivation while also supporting local water availability in Nogales. Our?RRG NBS Water and Data tools?can provide the insights needed to?navigate these shifts, supporting resilient and sustainable production strategies. #RegenerativeAgriculture #GroundwaterManagement #SustainableWaterSolutions #NatureBasedSolutions #Agribusiness #ClimateFinance

The?People's?Pension’s recent?￡28 billion reallocation?to Amundi and Invesco underscores a growing shift towards ESG-integrated asset management. This strategic move prioritizes?climate-focused equities (￡20B)?and?net-zero-aligned fixed income (￡8B), reinforcing the role of?pension?funds in sustainable finance. We see this as a critical step in aligning capital allocation with long-term environmental and social resilience. As financial institutions increasingly integrate ESG factors, the challenge remains:?how do we ensure these commitments translate into tangible, measurable impact? https://lnkd.in/dzDRfqNU

We see Andean Cacao’s commitment to technological innovation as a critical step in the transition to resilient, sustainable supply chains. As part of our Transition Platform, Andean Cacao exemplifies how modernization and ecological stewardship can go hand in hand.

RRG Nature Based Solutions Water & Data Intelligence As climate change threatens avocado viability in Mexico—particularly in lower elevations, where rising temperatures may affect fruit quality—higher-altitude regions could become new production hotspots. Higher-elevation areas are likely to see more viable climate conditions into the future, creating growth opportunities and shifting of production, as long as this transition can be done without damaging protected landscapes, native forests, and regional communities. With global prices expected to rise, these shifts present both risks and opportunities. Our?RRG NBS Agricultural Intelligence Suite?helps you develop a concrete, tailored strategy to navigate these changes. We analyze climate impacts, identify emerging growth zones, and design resilient, economically viable supply chain solutions. Here is an example of how avocado operations can adapt: #NatureBasedSolutions #RegenerativeAgriculture #ImpactInvesting #AgTech #ClimateAdaptation #NaturalCapital #RegenerativeAgriculture #AgriBusiness #GIS

RRG was delighted to welcome the CiConnec AgriTech Delegation to our offices this week. Our own Ari Swiller kicked off the discussion—along with Kel Mitchel from our RRG Nature Based Solutions team—and we spent much of the day exploring ag-tech innovation, potential partnerships, and meaningful connections across the agricultural landscape. The CICC - California Israel Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit, industry-supported organization dedicated to promoting and strengthening thought leadership, business, investment, entrepreneurship, technology, and trade relations between the business communities of California and Israel. We were thrilled to collaborate with CICC to bring together such a dynamic group of innovators and industry leaders. We look forward to the possibilities these collaborative conversations will bring to advancing solutions in the ag-tech space. And thank you to everyone who helped make it happen, including: Sharon Vanek Enrique Dreisis Jacob Segal Yuval Metzger Erez Fait Eylam Ran Yael Zeldman Haviv Eli Safra Udi Alroy Joshua Zepeda Jacob Ninio Amir Lehr Yaniv Maor Ori Inbar Sawyer Levy #agritech #circulareconomy #aginnovation

Stunning images from the field! These photos from Andean Cacao’s Environmental Photography Contest illustrate how regenerative agriculture and biodiversity go hand in hand. Our regenerative farming methods: - Preserve soil health and fertility - Create vital habitats for plant and animal species - Enhance ecosystems’ resilience to climate change A big congratulations to all participants for capturing the essence of nature-positive agriculture. Their lenses remind us that farming, when done right, can be a force for conservation. #naturebasedsolutions #regenerativeagriculture #impactinvesting #biodiversity

The?latest #IPCC report underscores the critical risks and opportunities posed by climate change. Notably, water availability and livestock production are highlighted as areas where positive impacts coexist with significant challenges. While climate change has disrupted food and water security and?impacted agricultural?production worldwide, it also presents opportunities in certain regions—especially at high latitudes—to adapt, build resilience, and drive sustainable productivity. ? At RRG Nature Based Solutions, we quantify and target these impacts, using our expertise to support farming regions in adapting to changing conditions. By identifying areas where water and agricultural opportunities align, we aim to create sustainable, investable solutions that support global food security. ? Our work is driven by a commitment to sustainability and long-term resilience. We focus on solutions that build opportunities for communities while addressing the challenges of today and tomorrow. #IPCCReport #NatureBasedSolutions #ImpactInvestment #FoodSecurity
