Restoring Landscapes Through Investable Nature-Based Approaches
Seneca works with partners to regenerate terrestrial landscapes through nature-based solutions that restore ecological function, support rural livelihoods, and contribute to climate and biodiversity goals. Our focus spans regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, and reforestation, each addressing different drivers of land degradation while enabling long-term stewardship. We prioritize commercially viable, high-impact projects that demonstrate ecological performance and financial viability across working landscapes. These efforts may intersect with outcome-based finance, ecosystem service monetization, and credit-linked models, supported where appropriate by enabling technologies for monitoring and verification.
We work with partners building regenerative land systems that deliver measurable impact and financial viability.
Regenerative Agriculture
Seneca engages with initiatives that transition away from chemical-intensive farming toward practices that rebuild soil health, increase biodiversity, and improve water retention. These shifts often require rethinking supply chains and market access to ensure farmers are rewarded for ecological performance. We work with partners to surface models where regenerative agriculture is not only climate-smart but also economically viable—especially in regions facing acute land degradation. These projects may align with credit methodologies but are primarily structured around outcome-based finance and long-term resilience.
Agroforestry
We support agroforestry systems that integrate trees into agricultural production to create multifunctional landscapes. These models stabilize soils, reconnect fragmented habitats, and offer diversified income streams for land stewards. Agroforestry is increasingly recognized as a nature-based solution with measurable ecological and economic value. Seneca focuses on field-ready approaches that blend restoration with commercial viability, from shade-grown crops to timber-fruit intercropping systems.
Reforestation
Seneca collaborates with partners on reforestation efforts that restore degraded lands and rebuild ecological connectivity. We prioritize ecologically sound, locally led approaches that go beyond tree planting to support full landscape recovery. Many of these projects are structured to attract investment through outcome-linked finance, ecosystem service payments, or verified credit generation. Our focus is on long-term stewardship and integrating reforestation into viable land-use plans that benefit both ecosystems and communities.
Greening Supply Corporate Chains
Seneca is exploring ways to support companies that are addressing unsustainable practices in their supply chains. This is often in response to Scope 3 decarbonization targets, climate-related disclosure expectations under TCFD, and growing nature-related reporting requirements in response to TNFD. Rather than relying on offsetting, these companies are looking for credible, lasting solutions to help their existing suppliers, especially SMEs, transition toward regenerative and climate-aligned models.
We work with partners to design supplier transition strategies and pilot projects that demonstrate measurable ecological and financial performance. These efforts may be financed directly or through green and sustainability-linked bonds. Seneca may also introduce nature-positive projects that align with a company’s sourcing goals, where the company can participate as an offtaker, investor or both.
