September 8, 2025
Programming will unite food companies, farmers, nonprofits, and innovators to inspire bold collaboration and long-term impact
Stone Ridge, N.Y., Sept. 4, 2025- HowGood, a leading sustainability intelligence platform, unveiled its four-day Climate Week NYC lineup as the driving force behind Regen House—a first-of-its-kind collaboration with EIT Food and the Institute of Regeneration. This year, Regen House will focus on forging connections across the food value chain, advancing regenerative practices at scale, and fostering innovation among leaders and decision-makers who are driving regeneration forward.
Regen House will host a total of 56 sessions during Climate Week NYC, including fireside chats, roundtables, collaborative working sessions, and evening parties designed to catalyze meaningful exchange across the food, agriculture, and sustainability communities. Global food companies, farmers, nonprofits, agricultural leaders, and environmental champions will come together throughout the week to drive actionable, thought-provoking conversations around innovative emissions-reduction solutions that create value for businesses, restore ecosystems, and benefit society.
Keeping food at the center of the experience, Regen House will feature regenerative meals throughout the week, curated by the Future Food Institute. Showcasing biodiverse ingredients that promote planetary health and decarbonization, these meals will embody the principles of regeneration while sparking meaningful connection.
“We’re living at a global turning point where business-as-usual approaches to sustainability just won’t cut it,” said Ethan Soloviev, Chief Innovation Officer at HowGood. “The food system has the power to be one of the most transformative levers for climate action, but only if we work together in new and unprecedented ways. Regen House was built to ignite those collaborations—breaking down silos, challenging assumptions, and creating space for solutions that can reshape our future. At Climate Week NYC, we’re bringing that vision to life.”
Regen House will be featuring voices of industry leaders from Nespresso, Danone, Bel Group, PepsiCo, The Nature Conservancy, Kiss the Ground, Vita Coco, ADM and many more. Discussions that will be hosted to boost Climate Week NYC’s theme of “Power On” include a session hosted by Indigo Ag, Kellanova, Walmart, and the farming community called “Scaling Regenerative Agriculture: Collective Action and Farmer-Centered Impact,” which will focus on the implementation of regenerative agricultural practices and the importance of unification for parties involved in every touchpoint of the agrifood supply chain.
