The Economics of Restoration is complicated. And, the context specific nature of interventions make it even more difficult to have commercial capital flow in these interventions for scale. But restoration of our land and food system is critical and cannot be de-prioritized just because our existing frameworks of pricing and financing are unable to do justice to them.

India’s restoration needs a dedicated institution that owns this agenda and builds the required capabilities and takes responsibility of mobilizing and channelizing capital to this space.

Above are the key points of my contribution on the panel at RESTORE 2025. Very happy to see that we are having more dedicated conversation and convening on Restoration.
