A new governance to amplify its third edition

PARIS, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Moët Hennessy, the Wines & Spirits division of the LVMH group, announces the third edition of the World Living Soils Forum (WLSF), co-organized with ChangeNOW, on June 3 and 4, 2026, at LUMA Arles. To amplify the movement for soil regeneration and to broaden the sharing of solutions, Moët Hennessy is bringing together committed companies to design and organize the event alongside its Advisory Board.

On the eve of World Soil Day, it is fitting to highlight again this complex, fragile, and still too often overlooked ecosystem. As the foundation of life, guaranteeing the development of flora and fauna, and indeed our humanity, soils are crucial. According to the latest reports from the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), healthy soil stores twice as much carbon as the atmosphere, hosts 50% of terrestrial biodiversity, can better filter water, and retain up to 20 times more. However, today, over 40% of the world’s soils are degraded by erosion, artificialization, pollution, or overexploitation. This situation is not merely an environmental threat—it represents a systemic risk to our food security, climate resilience, and our entire economy.

An International Forum for a Collective Action to preserve and regenerate soils

Founded by Moët Hennessy in 2022, the World Living Soils Forum has established itself as the international meeting point for stakeholders committed to soil health. It brings together scientists, farmers, institutions, NGOs, start-ups, investors, and companies to share knowledge, innovations, and feedback to advance agricultural and viticultural transition.

Moët Hennessy continues its commitments and announces the third edition of the World Living Soils Forum, which will be held on June 3 and 4, 2026, at LUMA Arles and will again be co-organized with ChangeNOW.

To amplify this movement and move beyond competitive and sector-specific challenges, Moët Hennessy has sought to evolve the governance of the World Living Soils Forum by involving, in its design and organization, companies that, like itself, are committed to soil regeneration. These companies will contribute by pooling their feedback and expert networks, and by promoting new operational solutions at both local and international levels. They will join the Advisory Board, composed of sixteen external experts who oversee and arbitrate the editorial direction and the entirety of the programming.

Rumin8 completes acquisition of ROAM Agricultural from Loam Bio, advancing their development of methane abatement solutions in cattle

PERTH, Australia, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rumin8 is pleased to announce the acquisition of ROAM Agricultural (ROAM), a spin-out of Loam Bio Pty Ltd focused on the development of solutions for methane abatement in cattle.

Rumin8 CEO David Messina said the acquisition of ROAM complemented Rumin8’s development plans for its own methane and productivity solution.

“ROAM has focused on the same active ingredient as Rumin8 and has developed delivery formats that expand our portfolio to reach production systems that can benefit from an extended release profile,” he said.

“While early in their development stage, ROAM’s products can be accelerated into regulatory studies and commercialisation by leveraging Rumin8’s capabilities and learnings to provide an additional methane abatement solution to the world’s cattle farmers and ranchers.”

Mr Messina said ROAM had initially focused on a fungi-based technology approach to producing tribromomethane, or TBM, which is recognized as the most effective methane reducing active in livestock and then progressed to delivering synthesized TBM. The technology acquired by Rumin8 from ROAM also includes alternative processes for manufacturing and delivering TBM.

“The ROAM methane abatement solution is highly complementary to Rumin8. We have consistently said that the global market to abate methane emissions from livestock is large and diverse enough to support multiple solutions, and Rumin8 can now deliver multiple product formats including granules for feed, a drinking water additive, and sustained release solid formats including mineral mixes and boluses,” he said.

“Using our own experiences and technical expertise, we can accelerate the commercialization of ROAM’s development portfolio, working with Rumin8’s key manufacturing partners to move these products into formal testing and registration, while advancing discussions with partners to support commercialisation and further farmer/rancher monetization of carbon reduction for these exciting new products.”

ROAM Agricultural CEO Derek Peterson said: “ROAM’s technological advancements are a perfect complement to Rumin8’s existing suite of products. Rumin8 has already made significant traction on the path to commercialisation, and it makes perfect sense to pass the baton to a seasoned team with a clear road map to market. This technology matters. It plays an important role in global climate initiatives, and we are excited to watch the Rumin8 team take it to its next stage of growth.”

Financial terms of the transaction are confidential.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Black Pastors United for Education (BPUE), a faith-based nonprofit providing children with full-time educational alternatives through community-based learning centers, has won the 7th annual 2025 Gregor G. Peterson Prize in Venture Philanthropy.

Presented during the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) Nation & States Policy Summit (December 2–3, Fort Worth, Texas), the $250,000 award recognizes innovative nonprofits that embody Gregor Peterson’s commitment to an entrepreneurial spirit, teamwork, and sustainable, life-changing outcomes. BPUE was selected from more than 120 nominees for its unique approach to educational transformation.

“We are deeply honored to receive this award,” said Rev. Joshua C. Robertson, founder of BPUE. “It affirms our belief that every child deserves an environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive, regardless of their circumstances.”

Based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, BPUE leads a growing movement to advance educational freedom—today’s civil rights movement—through advocacy, government engagement, and community leadership. As part of this mission, BPUE supports pastors and congregations who want to join the movement, with many choosing to open community-based learning centers that provide a free alternative to unsafe or low-performing schools. Currently serving students across Pennsylvania, BPUE is expanding nationally to bring these centers—and their message of empowerment—to communities across the country. Each center offers a rigorous education and a sense of safety and belonging, housed within churches with available space, and includes on-site mental health counseling. Tuition, materials, equipment, and transportation are all provided at no cost to families.

Eric Peterson, son of the Prize’s namesake, described why the family chose BPUE as this year’s winner: “What Pastor Josh and BPUE are undertaking is truly a big idea—one that can be replicated across the country. We believe in the value of a good education and have confidence that underserved inner-city youth will find hope through this positive alternative.”

“This award will help us open new centers where children can flourish with support that empowers them to transform their own lives and, by extension, their communities,” said Rev. Robertson. “We’re grateful to the Peterson family for believing in our mission.”

Information about the Gregor G. Peterson Prize in Venture Philanthropy is available on the official website. Nominations and evaluations were coordinated by Hoplin Jackson Charitable Advisors.
