Building a more equitable and regenerative textile industry
Why we invest in regenerative fibers
Environmental equity and textiles
Recognizing that natural fiber and dye crops can and should play a key role in vibrant, economically viable regenerative agriculture, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders (SAFSF) and Fibershed joined forces to develop a capital solution that considers industry’s effects on people and planet.
Mission Driven Finance is proud to work with SAFSF and Fibershed on a flexible and catalytic sustainable fibers strategy tailored to the needs of smaller U.S. natural fiber and textile producers and processors with a specific focus on environmental equity.
Working for people and planet
The strategy was selected to the 2023 Transformative 25 list of funds, banks, and initiatives that are demonstrating the power of integrated capital designed to reimagine the finance system to work for people and planet.
