In this episode, Amanda Hsieh joins forces with Jayce Hafner, Co-Founder & CEO of FarmRaise. Jayce completed a Fulbright Fellowship in Trinidad and Tobago before serving as an Environmental Policy Advisor for the Episcopal Church where she mobilized large-scale land conservation and climate change campaigns in the U.S. Congress and United Nations. After completing an MBA and Masters of Environmental Science at Stanford, she co-founded FarmRaise to restore environmental resilience and profitability to the American agriculture landscape by connecting farmers and ranchers to farm funding.

The agriculture industry presents unique opportunities to address climate change and water quality issues. However, Farmers need more efficient access to capital to implement sustainable solutions that promote regenerative agriculture. Listen as Amanda and Jayce introduce us to FarmRaise and discuss how the company is working to solve these problems within the industry while creating social equity. Jayce also touches on industry best practices and natural resource priority concerns.
