The Drop 2025 - Ripple summaries

Soil as the super solution to climate and health


The Ripple dove into how healthy soil can fix big issues like climate, biodiversity, and health. Folks in the room hashed out why soil matters, how food and farming are tied to our well-being, and what blocks real progress.

Main takeaways:

• Better soil leads to stronger communities, healthier food, and real climate action.

• Investors care most about clear economic value, not just climate or health talk.

• Scaling these “regenerative” solutions means aligning business and tech with everyday farming.

• There’s still not enough funding for the big jump from niche to mainstream.

• Food, farming, and nature are all tangled up—fixing one helps the others.

• Corporate and government buy-in is gathering momentum, but more voices are needed.

• The group agreed: Real change takes teamwork across lots of sectors, and simple commercial logic works best to bring new people on board.

Ripple’s wrap-up? Teamwork and practical investment will help soil and nature win.
