The document discusses the Slow Money movement, which aims to redirect investment towards small food enterprises that build soil health and local communities. It outlines principles of restorative economics, ecology, and places over industrialization and globalization. The movement seeks to leverage networks to create financial products and services that provide debt and equity for local farms and food systems. Examples of investment products and funds are provided, as well as the goal of establishing a Soil Trust fund through individual donations to support this type of entrepreneurial "nurture capital" financing.
