Description:  Dirt Capital Partners 2023 is a $50m target fund that will invest in 12-20 high-value regenerative and organic farms. Dirt Capital is in a peerless pursuit to purchase small and sustainably-managed farmland to help farmers acquire their farms at low-cost and flexible terms.

Why We Invest: Regenerative agriculture was ranked by Project Drawdown as one of the top potential solutions (#11 overall) to begin drawing down GHG from the atmosphere. Dirt Capital invests in regenerative agriculture, which presents a growing opportunity for climate change mitigation and adaptation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, acting as a carbon sink via soil carbon sequestration, and promoting soil health, biodiversity, and resilient agroecosystems. Dirt Capital’s impact strategy centers around wealth creation for small-scale farmers, especially those of color, who employ regenerative and organic practices. Dirt Capital grooms the farmers’ financial readiness to secure an equitable transaction for transitioning land ownership to the farm workers. Each agricultural business and land project is unique, and they offer flexible and customized financial arrangements with ongoing technical support.
