Key Takeaways
- Klim has entered the UK market to help food and beverage (F&B) companies reduce risk and emissions in their supply chains.
- The company already works with 4,000+ farmers managing over two million acres in Germany and Poland.
- UK agriculture faces growing challenges from extreme weather, with 2025 marking the warmest and driest spring on record.
- Klim’s platform supports farmers transitioning to regenerative agriculture with financial incentives, agronomic guidance, and carbon footprinting tools.
- The initiative connects farmers directly with F&B businesses, aligning climate goals with supply chain resilience.
Klim Brings Regenerative Agriculture Model to the UK
Klim, a regenerative agriculture project developer and technology platform, has launched in the UK to support food and beverage companies facing climate-related risks. The move builds on the company’s established presence in Germany and Poland, where it works with more than 4,000 farmers across two million acres.
The UK entry follows Klim’s $22 million Series A funding in 2024 and expansion into Slovakia and the Czech Republic earlier this year.
Addressing Climate Challenges in UK Agriculture
Extreme weather has had a growing impact on UK farming. The Met Office recorded 2023–2024 as the wettest winter half-year on record, contributing to a 22% rise in potato prices. DEFRA reported reduced cereal and oilseed yields in 2024, while 2025 has already seen the warmest and driest spring on record.
“Supply chain resilience has moved into sharp focus, and there is a clear need for the UK to build stronger, more sustainable national food production,” said Rory Davidson, Head of UK at Klim. “The good news is that early-adopters of regenerative agriculture practices are seeing their yields less affected.”
Klim’s Approach to Supporting Farmers
Klim’s model incentivizes and rewards farmers who adopt regenerative practices such as reduced tillage, year-round soil cover, and lower chemical inputs. The platform provides agronomic guidance, documentation tools, and financial support to offset upfront costs.
“Incentivising and rewarding farmers is critical, and particularly in the UK, which has seen a big rollback in policy support,” said Rob Gerlach, CEO and Co-Founder of Klim. “Our platform gives farmers everything they need in one place.”
Connecting F&B Companies with Regenerative Supply Chains
Alongside its farmer-focused support, Klim helps food and beverage businesses meet growing regulatory and consumer demands around emissions, biodiversity, and soil health. Its carbon footprinting tool for crops and dairy enables farmers to share accurate emissions data with supply chain partners, with all results independently audited.
“The UK has a highly developed retail and food & beverage industry, and a historically progressive agriculture sector,” added Davidson. “At Klim, we mobilise private capital within the supply chain by connecting F&B leaders directly with the farmers who supply them.”
