Vilnius-based climate finance firm InSoil expanded its lending capacity after securing a €120 million senior secured credit facility, designed to scale mid-term debt financing for regenerative agriculture. The funding supports InSoil's work with agricultural SMEs, having already financed more than 3,500 businesses across Europe, with lending tailored to sustainable farming investments.
The facility will expand the company's ability to finance practices such as no-till cultivation, cover cropping, diversified crop rotation and reduced use of synthetic fertilisers. Backed by a guarantee from the European Investment Fund under the InvestEU programme, the financing also builds on InSoil's proprietary credit underwriting and soil carbon measurement capabilities.
For farmers, the facility improves access to capital for long-term regenerative transitions, reflecting growing institutional demand for climate-focused agricultural finance and investment in sustainable farming practices.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Regenerative Farm Financing
- Specialized credit facilities are reshaping agricultural lending by aligning farmer capital access with measurable soil health, lower-input production and long-term climate resilience.
- Soil Carbon Underwriting
- Proprietary measurement tools are turning soil carbon performance into a financeable data layer for risk assessment, verification and sustainability-linked lending products.
- Climate-backed SME Credit
- Institutional guarantees and public-private capital structures are expanding debt options for smaller agricultural businesses pursuing costly transitions to regenerative operations.
Sectors Adopting This
- Agricultural Finance
- Lenders are finding new market openings in tailored debt products that connect farm productivity investments with verified environmental outcomes.
- Sustainable Agriculture
- Regenerative practices such as no-till cultivation, cover cropping and diversified rotations are creating demand for financing models that match longer transition timelines.
- Carbon Measurement Technology
- Digital monitoring and soil analytics platforms are becoming critical infrastructure for validating climate claims and supporting investment decisions in agriculture.
