The Fibers Roadmap Integrated Capital Opportunities to Support Revitalization of U.S.-Grown Fiber, Textiles, and Leather

Funders, impact investors, and integrated capital practitioners currently have the opportunity to catalyze momentum and reform in the U.S. fiber and textile industry. A coordinated, strategic roadmap is critical to make the best use of integrated philanthropic and investment support.

This research project drew on more than 60 interviews with fiber farmers and ranchers; processing businesses along the supply chain (mills, tanneries, etc.); brands and other supply chain experts; and funders and investors.

Findings from these interviews have been synthesized and distilled into a seven-year financial Roadmap identifying five key Gaps and Levers where integrated philanthropic and investment capital would have the greatest impact in rebuilding the “missing middle” of the supply chain. 

Barriers For Farmers & Ranchers to Adopt Regenerative Ag Practices In The US.

Jenny O’Connor, author of the report “Barriers for Farmers and Ranchers to Adopt Regenerative Ag Practices in the US” shares her findings from a year-long journey to better understand the barriers and challenges that US farmers and ranchers face daily and how we might best support them to reimagine a new system. She aims to shine a bright light on the interconnectivity of the challenges across the system and, by doing so, fuel a more systems-oriented, collaborative, and equitable approach to funding and investment across the sector.
The intended audience for this webinar includes funders, policy-makers, farmers, ranchers, and non-profit leaders.
