Sustainability Strategy & Policy

Three Companies. One network.

  • Why Regenerative has brought together Shanrock Partners and Mackinnon Bruce International to form a coordinated, international recruiting collaboration focused on placing the world's best talent across regenerative agriculture, climate, and food systems.

    This partnership was built with a simple premise: the most important companies in regenerative agriculture require access to exceptional talent across geographies, and no single firm can do that alone. The regenerative economy is inherently global. Innovation is happening simultaneously across North America, Europe, and South America, yet talent networks remain fragmented and localized.

    Why Regenerative sits at the center of this ecosystem, with deep relationships across founders, operators, investors, and scientists. By partnering with best-in-class recruiting firms in key regions, we extend that network into a fully integrated, global talent platform.

    Together, we ensure that the right people are placed into the right roles, regardless of geography.
