Fany Bortolin

Born in Buenos Aires and raised in Brazil, Fany spent her childhood summers camping out on regenerative farms. The disillusionment came years later at the discovery that not all farms are regenerative, and the realization of the devastation that conventional farming causes to the environment, the economy, and human health. That initial anger paved the way for what has become a life-long career in regenerative agriculture.

Fany founded Acorn Accounting in 2011, a boutique financial services firm serving organic and transitioning farmers in the Midwest. She later became a consultant for larger organizations serving regenerative agriculture at a larger scale. Her later project, Jacaranda Capital, includes the development of innovative financial vehicles that ultimately enable the scaling of regenerative agriculture, restore climate health, and heal deteriorated social, economic, and ecological systems.

Fany has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting and financial management, a bachelor’s in social psychology, speaks Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian, and is a certified yoga teacher and humble, curious, life-long learner. She lives in beautiful Boulder, Colorado with her two amazing daughters.
