Getting Regenerative Food to the People
From soil to shelf — and into the community.
Regenerative farming only works if it’s economically viable — and that often means cutting out middlemen that shrink margins. Today’s food system makes it hard for small and regenerative farms to get their products into the hands of local buyers..
Our distribution work explores how to build fairer supply chains, better logistics, and stronger regional networks — so farmers can sell their products, and communities can access food that restores both land and health.
We work with local producers, processors, and food service partners to unlock the missing links.
How it works
Identify pressure points
We explore the current system — where regenerative products struggle to reach consumers — and find where interventions could unlock movement.
Build partnerships
We bring together farmers, processors, retailers and food service providers to co-design new ways of getting food to market.
Prototype solutions
We implement pilot projects regionally – for example, focusing on out-of-home food like canteens. In collaboration with existing partners such as “Gutes vom See” or selected retailers, we open up new markets for regenerative products.
Connect it all back to the soil
Every solution we support is grounded in soil health and long-term resilience – for a vibrant and flourishing Lake Constance region.
No healthy soil without a healthy market.
If we want regenerative agriculture to scale, farmers need to earn a living. And consumers need access to food that reflects the values they care about.
Fair, regionally rooted distribution systems make that possible — by building short, transparent supply chains and shared responsibility between growers, makers, and eaters.
It’s about food systems that nourish our plates.
Not just a label – a path forward.
Regenerative farming takes time. This system is designed to recognise progress – not perfection.
For farmers, it provides structure, support and potential for additional income. For buyers and consumers, it creates transparency, trust and a shared understanding of what regenerative really means.
And for the transition to succeed, we need both.
“We can’t regenerate our soils without regenerating the way we get food from field to table.”

This work is in motion.
We are currently deep in conversations with farmers, processors, and food service operators to design the first pilot partnerships.
