Resilient Food systems INVESTing
DiversiFund
Investing in the future of regenerative agriculture
A Unique Approach
DiversiFund is reimagining how we finance regenerative food systems. A new, systems-level investment vehicle, DiversiFund, brings together diverse capital sources to support regenerative businesses and drive landscape-scale transformation. DiversiFund channels investment into the tools, businesses, and networks that make sustainable food systems possible through a carefully designed portfolio of high-impact strategies.
We’re focused on four systems level investment strategies:
- Regional infrastructure, starting in the Upper Midwest
- Financial intermediaries
- Data and insurance
- Natural assets
Why DiversiFund?
The future of food is regenerative, but systemic barriers are hindering its growth: absence of infrastructure, limited access to capital, nascent data sets and supply chain reliability remain major challenges. DiversiFund helps clear these barriers.
With a target of $100M in capital commitments by 2026, DiversiFund is ready to scale what works, demonstrating how flexible capital structures can unlock financing for farmers transitioning to regenerative practices.
Why Now?
This strategy is already at work. DiversiFund launches at a critical inflection point, as years of Transformational Investing in Food Systems’ (TIFS) research, innovation, and ecosystem-building have created a landscape rich with investable opportunities.
As a nonprofit innovator, TIFS has played a central role in identifying systemic barriers, co-developing solutions, and convening stakeholders across agriculture, finance, government, and philanthropy. DiversiFund, a separate but aligned entity, is the investment vehicle to scale this work by deploying capital into a strong pipeline of high-impact initiatives.
With proven solutions, investable enterprises, and aligned capital now converging, DiversiFund offers a rare and timely opportunity to drive meaningful change. By channeling investment into this ecosystem, DiversiFund becomes the mechanism to translate insight into action, accelerating regenerative agriculture and delivering measurable outcomes for people, planet, and portfolio.
Supportive policies, rising consumer demand, and better ways to measure impact are all coming together. This is a rare window to reshape agricultural finance, aligning capital and profit with purpose.
TIFS is accelerating financial innovation to support regenerative agriculture and resilient food systems.
TIFS is a nonprofit innovator with a trusted network of practitioners, investors, and problem solvers committed to systems-level change.
Since 2020, we’ve worked as ecosystem architects and thought leaders—developing frameworks, convening stakeholders, and identifying capital barriers across the agricultural finance landscape.
Now, TIFS is advising on-the-ground solutions like DiversiFund.
We’re closing key financing gaps for regenerative farmers, businesses, and intermediaries while fostering market rate returns for investors. We’re developing and incubating tools including “missing middle” investment mechanisms, reimagined crop insurance, and innovative lending solutions—all designed to de-risk the transition.
TIFS doesn’t operate in isolation.
We co-create within a broader ecosystem alongside partners, ensuring financing innovations are aligned, scalable, and timed for real-time integration. This coordinated approach is enabling a well-capitalized, community-driven regenerative transition in regions like the US Midwest and globally.
Enabling the scale and urgency the moment demands
With growing momentum and a reputation for attracting world-class talent, TIFS is unlocking new opportunities for mission-driven investors committed to climate, nature, and livelihoods.
