Please join us in welcoming Éliane Ubalijoro, the new CEO of CIFOR-ICRAF, and hear her remarks on the profound connection between soil health and the wellbeing of our planet and humanity. Additionally, we will feature brief remarks from Rob Bertram, Chief Scientist at USAID's Bureau for Resilience and Food Security, and Jocelyn Brown Hall, Director of FAO North America.

We invite you to stay for a post-seminar reception, where you can engage with thought leaders and policymakers. Together, we will explore the pivotal role that healthy soils play in solving the polycrisis of climate, biodiversity, and food. 

CIFOR-ICRAF is a global research center, headquartered in Indonesia and Kenya, with 700 staff across 60 countries working to devise solutions to global challenges through trees, forests, and tree-based agriculture. CIFOR-ICRAF provides robust and actionable research on soil and land health through its state-of-the-art soil spectroscopy lab and the most extensive database of land health indicators available.
