2024 CA4SH Annual Report | Celebrating Milestones, Partnerships, and Big Wins for Global Soil Health
27 March 2025: The Coalition of Action 4 Soil Health (CA4SH) is thrilled to announce the launch of the 2024 Annual Report, marking significant milestones for the Coalition and for global soil health.
2024 was a big year CA4SH; we engaged global stakeholders in united advocacy to scale soil health through our priority areas of action, including science, policy, finance, youth engagement, and implementation on the ground. Additionally, we grew our membership from 159 to 258 global partners from across sectors and scales.
Some highlights from 2024 include:
Launching the #Youth4Soil Initiative, including the mentorship program and youth working group,
Initiating the CA4SH knowledge bank to collate original knowledge products produced through the Coalition’s activities,
Underpinning soil health in all three of the Rio Conventions through the #COPSoil page,
Meaningfully engaging with the Africa Fertilizer and Soil Health Summit proceedings and work plans,
Furthering equitable access to soil health data across Africa through diverse partnerships,
Contributing to global food systems and climate action mechanisms, including the Riyadh Action Agenda and the Food Systems Call to Action.
In 2023, we launched the first CA4SH Annual Report, covering activities from CA4SH’s inception at the UN Food Systems Summit in 2021 to the end of 2023. Centred on tracing our roots to see how far we’ve come as a global partnership, the report highlighted key events and milestones for the Coalition from just two short years of implementation.
The 2024 Annual Report captures how we harnessed our foundations and partnerships to scale our presence and impact. Our global presence continues to rise and solidify as the World looks to soil health as a unifying solution to the global challenges of climate change, land degradation, biodiversity loss, and food and nutrition security.
In 2025, we hope to increase our reach geographically, establish regional hubs, and strengthen the enabling environments of policy, finance, science, and practice to support soil stewards in scaling healthy soil practices on the ground, all over the World.
