Meeting SDG2 will require radical improvements in regenerative and sustainable agricultural production. The science to support such improvements is fueled by a wide diversity of knowledge sources ranging from cutting-edge scientific research to Indigenous practices honed through generations. Maybe more than in other areas of scientific research, this science –and its successful application—hinges on inclusivity and uncommon collaborations.

This session will highlight scientific advances, applications, and lessons learned for inclusivity and collaboration across the three areas of research and development fundamental to improving regenerative and sustainable agriculture: soil health, adapted and diverse crops, and sustainable productivity growth. Furthermore, this session will build on the recent Africa Fertilizer and Soil Health Summit Action Plan and Declaration.
