To address the pressing need for creative agriculture projects at the nexus of fashion and sustainability, Conservation International, the global luxury firm Kering, and Inditex joined together to launch the Regenerative Fund for Nature. The goal is to promote regenerative farming methods and change the supply chains for raw materials used in the fashion industry.
The fund supports farming communities, project managers, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in implementing regenerative practises that yield quantifiable results for the environment, climate, and livelihoods through grants and collaborations. The Regenerative Fund for Nature is leading the charge to change how the fashion industry interacts with the environment, both by growing positive effects and the addition of new investment partners.

- Biodiversity: Keeping farms and the surrounding areas’ biodiversity intact, restored, and enhanced.
- Supporting local communities’ and farmers’ means of subsistence.
- Synthetic Inputs: Preferring ecological solutions while minimising or doing away with the usage of synthetic agrochemicals.
