New investment service Calm the Farm is aiming to help conventional farmers convert to regenerative agriculture, by providing access to investors and farming advisors.

Calm the Farm will also track results of farmers to show the long-term impacts of the shift. Investors of all types are being sought, including family investors, equity investors and banks, and many farmers have already expressed an interest. Calm the Farm raised $1.3 million last year to build up its infrastructure and start writing pledges.
