The B Corp process has helped Klompe Landbouw not only to enhance the impact of regenerative agriculture but also to promote inclusivity within the company. A concrete example of this is recognizing the role of women in agriculture. Often, they play a crucial role in farm operations but do not hold an official position. Klompe Landbouw is working to change this, including within their own business. As a next step, this role will also be officially documented to ensure structural recognition within the organization.
The Challenge: A Fair Price for Regenerative Products
One of the biggest challenges for Klompe Landbouw is obtaining a fair price for their regenerative products. The food industry and supermarkets have complex revenue models, often leaving farmers with the smallest share of profits. Klompe Landbouw aims to reverse this system by making regenerative agriculture more economically viable.
“We became a B Corp to differentiate ourselves. There is no other certification specifically for regenerative agriculture, and we want recognition for the way we farm. This helps us gain visibility in the food industry and secure better prices for our products.”
Klompe Landbouw also sees the B Corp community as a valuable asset. The B Corp community provides companies within the agrifood industry with opportunities to exchange valuable knowledge and experiences. By collaborating with like-minded entrepreneurs who share the same impact-driven vision, they aim to accelerate and strengthen the transition to regenerative agriculture.
By increasing the number of B Corp certified farms, the market position of regenerative farmers can be improved. Klompe Landbouw strives to support other farmers in this transition, creating a fairer system where farmers are better rewarded for sustainable farming methods.
