Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food 247 - Tim Coates - Sell flood mitigation to institutional players to finance water cycle restoration
A conversation with Tim Coates, co-founder of Oxbury Bank, the UK’s only specialist agricultural bank, about flood risk mitigation, water quality, water cycle restoration, selling flood mitigation to institutional investors and much more.
Tim Coast, a third-generation farmer founded an agriculture focussed bank. He argues that the best place to start (at least in the UK) water cycle restoration might be selling flood mitigation to institutional investors and other institutional players suffering from bad watershed management like the drinking water companies trying to make sure we have clean drinking water, insurance companies who pay when businesses and houses flood, the reinsurance companies that pick up the final bill, the towns which get regular flooding, the railways, etc. It doesn’t make sense to sell the cooling effect of healthy water cycles and ecosystems to people who are not on board yet. According to Tim, you will lose too much time on education and convincing and... we don’t have time!
