Economic Architecture The Podcast

Farming runs on financing as much as it runs on land and weather, but the system built around it rarely puts the farmer’s needs first. In this episode, Stuart Yasgur talks with Dominick Grant, Managing Director of Dirt Capital Partners, about what it looks like to flip that model—designing financing that starts with the farmer’s own goals and builds a path toward land ownership, rather than fitting farmers needs into a lender’s existing products.

Dominick Grant describes his grassroots, relationship-driven work with regenerative and organic farmers operating on farms of different shapes and scales, to address the broader challenge of financing farmers for their specific needs and goals—an innovative approach to help introduce a new way of thinking and enable more people to understand how deeply agriculture and finance are intertwined.
