🌏 Situated in the Tao Yuan district near Taipei, Taiwan, a one-hectare plot of rice fields will serve as the platform for a pioneering pilot project. Leveraging this site, our team—having conducted recent field surveys and deep stakeholder engagements—is launching an initiative that embodies the principles of Regenerative Farming and Sustainable Financing.

🌱 This initiative demonstrates a shared commitment to advancing ESG principles and addresses two critical planetary imperatives: Strengthening Natural Capital to combat nature loss while maintaining agricultural production for global food security.

🌾These benefits will be delivered through novel cooperation mechanisms—facilitated by NCU.fi—that will offer the agricultural sector a viable pathway to balance natural capital enhancement with farm productivity. Scientifically supported, this pilot will pioneer sustainable rice farming practices, focusing on two pivotal interventions:

• Integrating productive forest habitats into farming landscapes to enhance biodiversity while ensuring economic productivity—a delicate balance essential for long-term viability.
• Adopting regenerative farming approaches to improve soil and water health, alongside gains in biodiversity performance, within agriculturally productive land—thus fortifying the ecosystem's resilience and richness.

🤝 This collaboration envisions shared returns between farmers and Natural Capital investors, leveraging an eco-friendly branding strategy to attract nature-conscious consumers. Through this pioneering endeavor, NAPITAL and NCU.fi aim to set a new standard in sustainable agriculture, fostering a symbiotic relationship between agriculture, nature, and finance.
