An investment solution that offers compelling returns and restores nature by investing in vital farms and forests, and the people who care for them.

About Us

Value Nature Fund invests in farms and forests to drive their transition towards regenerative, closer-to-nature practices — driving measurable climate impact, biodiversity gains, and long-term resilience. We unlock nature-based investment opportunities that generate returns for investors while:

Restoring ecosystems

Empowering local communities

Accelerating the transition to a regenerative economy

Joining forces to deliver a unique investment strategy

Canadian impact-driven asset manager Fondaction Asset Management and Dutch impact investor Triodos Investment Management, two leading sustainable investors, are joining forces to create Value Nature Fund, a joint investment strategy that draws upon our deep expertise in natural capital investing, impact generation and our respective networks of partners and investors.

Investment Thesis and Approach

The transition to sustainable food and timber production isn’t optional. It’s
where long-term value will be created.

Over half of global GDP is directly dependent on nature*, yet biodiversity loss and climate change are putting the economy and the ecosystems at risk.
Conventional land management practices in agriculture and forestry still dominate across Europe and Canada and United States and largely degrade the very natural assets they rely on. In time, conventionally managed farmland and timberland face the risk of becoming stranded assets and losing their long-term value.

By partnering up with forward-thinking land managers who wish to scale their operations, Value Nature Fund accelerates the transition of farmlands and forestlands towards regenerative models – unlocking financial returns through asset diversification, nature restoration and ecosystem resilience.

Strategy

We build partnerships with leading farm and forest managers to transition, expand and diversify assets with high regenerative potential for selected row crops, permanent crops and closer to nature forestry. Our approach enhances the land’s environmental performance while strengthening its long-term economic value.

Through long-term partnerships with experienced managers in Europe and Canada and United States, we invest in and support the transition toward certified, organic or closer-to-nature models, delivering resilient assets and lasting environmental, social, and financial impact.
