Side event Grounding Food Systems Transformation in Soil Health: Evidence and Cross-Sectoral Action
Healthy and living soil is the foundation of sustainable, equitable, and resilient food systems. Yet, over one-third of the Earth’s surface is degraded, directly impacting soil’s ability to produce nutritious food, store carbon, support biodiversity, and sustain livelihoods. This session will explore four interconnected pillars to effectively scale soil health: evidence-based implementation, cross-sectoral partnerships, inclusive investment, and policy coherence. It will highlight the importance of integrating soil health into national strategies and institutional frameworks, showcase innovations in soil monitoring, and emphasize the need for capacity strengthening through digital tools and diverse knowledge systems. Multi-stakeholder dialogue will inform recommendations to embed soil health into national pathways and financing strategies.
