Based in Boulder, Colorado and Oakland, rePlant will deploy $250 million to farmers transitioning to regenerative or organic practices, with about $200 million of that going towards loans based on soil health metrics. “By talking about soil health, you're immediately talking about water conservation. RePlant’s opportunity is big: $426 billion in U.S. farm debt and over 900 million farmable acres. “Tying loans to soil health increases was the holy grail for us at RSF,” says Shaffer. “The debt load is enormous for a lot of these farmers,” says Haynes, who heads up the equity investing side of rePlant.
