📍 Recently, our team brought together key partners of the Landscape Enterprise Networks (LENs Company Ltd) in #Poland for a stakeholder event at Baborówko Palace, near Poznań. This event was an opportunity to reflect on progress, share experiences, and announce the third LENs tender. The event opened with presentations from our Demand Partners – Nestlé Purina PetCare Europe, Cereal Partners Poland Toruń-pacific, and PepsiCo – who shared their sustainability efforts and goals for advancing sustainable solutions. 🎤 Meanwhile, Preferred by Nature provided an overview of the 2024 edition, and 3Keel introduced the updated LENs model set for launch in 2025. 👨🌾 The main highlight of the event was hearing directly from farmers about their regenerative agriculture experiences. Two farmers shared their experiences with LENs, which offered a deeper look into how the programme has impacted their operations. Miroslaw Korzeniowski from AGROEKOTON Association (Stowarzyszenie AGROEKOTON ) delivered a compelling speech on international policy and its impact on regenerative agriculture in Poland. His presentation outlined both the challenges and opportunities for sustainable development in the country. 🌿 This was followed by Grzegorz Ignaczewski from Agraves, who covered eco-schemes in Poland, summarising 2024 campaign key takeaways and expected changes in 2025. 💬 The event concluded with a panel discussion moderated by Hubert Filipiak from Preferred by Nature. Panelists, Mirosław Korzeniowski, Sebastian Bloch from Nestlé, Mateusz Sękowski from PepsiCo, and Donald Lunan from 3Keel, discussed ways to encourage farmers to adopt #regenerative agriculture. The discussion covered financial models, non-financial support such as training and knowledge exchange, and long-term engagement strategies. ℹ️ LENs (Landscape Enterprise Networks), developed by the Oxford-based B-Corp 3Keel and supported by Nestlé Purina, PepsiCo, Cereal Partners Worldwide (Nestlé & General Mills) (CPP), Consorzio di Tutela della DOC Prosecco and Le Tenute del Leone Alato, is operated by Preferred by Nature in Poland, Italy and Hungary.
