Soil2Soul is an ethical business entity which supports the concept of Concious Capitalism. It utilises the model of land ownership being separated from the business of food and energy production. Our investors pay for the land removing the stress that high debt levels place on advancements in optimisation and sustainability on family farms. Soil2Soul management teams develop and operate the property with profits being recycled back into the land and the operating entity.
In essence:
• The investor provides seed capital to buy land and provide start-up funds to operate the land.
• The management teams have the opportunity to build equity in the land over a period of time.
• The investor has the opportunity to take growth derived capital or reinvest into future S2S projects. It is a regenerative investment model.
“Since 2000 land values have increased by an average of 10% per year while commodity prices have stayed the same, thus creating pressure on the farmer to maximise land production in order to just survive rather than optimising to thrive in the future.”
