Client type (industry, region)
- Multiple global organisations across sectors such as food and beverages, consumer goods, retail, and real estate with participants drawn from internal teams and supplier networks.
Challenge, solution, outcomes (brief)
- Organisations needed to build practical understanding of nature, TNFD, and regenerative agriculture across their own teams and key suppliers. In previous roles, TreeLynk co‑founder Inesh Singh designed and delivered training programs on these topics, helping participants translate emerging frameworks and concepts into concrete actions in their operations and value chains.
Problem
- Many companies were strengthening their focus on climate but had less clarity on how to address nature‑related impacts and dependencies. Teams and suppliers were aware of emerging frameworks such as TNFD and of the term “regenerative agriculture,” but did not always understand:
-
- How nature‑related risks and opportunities showed up in their own businesses and supply chains.
- What TNFD and related guidance actually required in practice.
- Which regenerative practices were most relevant, realistic, and measurable for their crops, geographies, and business models.
- Without targeted capacity building, there was a risk that nature would remain an abstract topic, limiting progress on strategy, risk management, and on‑farm change.
Solution
- This work was led by TreeLynk co‑founder Inesh Singh in previous roles, across several organisations. The approach combined technical content with practical, context‑specific examples:
- Curriculum design
-
- Developed modular training content on nature and biodiversity, nature‑related risks and opportunities, TNFD concepts (including the LEAP approach), and regenerative agriculture principles.
- Tailored materials to the audience: senior leaders, functional teams (for example, sustainability, procurement, risk), and supplier representatives such as farmers and aggregators.
- Interactive trainings for internal teams
-
- Ran workshops that explained how nature‑related dependencies, impacts, and risks connected to each organisation’s value chain.
- Used case examples and exercises to show how TNFD and nature‑related thinking link to strategy, risk, data, and reporting.
- Helped teams identify priority assets, geographies, and data gaps.
- Trainings for suppliers and farmers
-
- Delivered sessions for suppliers and farmer groups on regenerative agriculture, soil health, water stewardship, and biodiversity‑friendly practices.
- Connected high‑level concepts to day‑to‑day decisions on inputs, crop choices, and land management.
- When relevant, linked practices to existing or planned corporate programs (for example, sourcing standards or pilot projects).
- Practical tools and follow‑up
-
- Provided checklists, simple assessment tools, and reference materials that participants could use after the training.
- In some cases, supported internal teams in translating training outputs into next steps (for example, scoping a nature assessment or identifying potential regenerative pilots).
Results
- Because these trainings were delivered across multiple organisations, outcomes varied, but typical results included:
-
- Increased understanding of how nature‑related risks and dependencies applied to the organisation’s own assets and supply chains.
- Better alignment between sustainability, procurement, and risk teams on the relevance of nature.
- Supplier and farmer participants more aware of feasible regenerative practices and why they mattered to both business resilience and ecosystems.
- A clearer starting point for subsequent work on TNFD assessments, regenerative agriculture pilots, and nature‑related strategy.
