The Coalition of Action for Soil Health (CA4SH) #Youth4Soil Working Group held its inaugural Virtual Soil Solutions showcase on Thursday, 6th March 2025. The event was dubbed “We Grow We Eat” to celebrate soil as a growing medium for 95% of the world's food. The showcase provided a platform for #Youth4Soil members to exhibit the soil health solutions they are already implementing in their local contexts and interact with key stakeholders to grow those solutions.

During a recent webinar FROM DUST TO PROSPERITY: The ROLE of Soil in Shaping Africa’s Future co-hosted by the coalition of Action 4 Soil Health and the Allure of Soil Campaign, experts from around the world shared their perspectives on soil’s significance, its degradation, and the urgent need for action to restore and preserve it.

Watch this Food Systems Call to Action endorser network webinar to hear from expert speakers on insights and expectations of the 3 Rio Convention Summits in 2024 – CBD COP16, COP29, and CCD COP16 – and discuss a set of high-level food systems messages and asks, building on the Food Systems Call to Action.

The Food Systems Call to Action raises the urgent need to take action on food systems to deliver for people, nature, and climate. Launched at COP28 by the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions and endorsed by hundreds of food systems actors, it will remain open until COP30. The Call to Action outlines a shared vision and priority set of actions from a broad and diverse multi-stakeholder community.

From afar, scaling soil health by switching from traditional monocrop agricultural systems to regenerative systems may seem as easy as planting the right plants in the right spot. However transitioning to new systems usually sees farmers’ yields decrease before they increase, which can be a limiting factor for farmers who don’t have a financial cushion to fall back on. Support is needed to help them bridge the gap.

CA4SH is a multi-stakeholder partnership of member states, the private sector, research institutions, civil society, farmer organizations, multilateral organizations, NGOs, and more. Drawing on this wealth of knowledge, we organized the second installation of our 2024 Webinar Series: The road ahead for soil health action to explore different mechanisms to invest in soil health, making sure these investments reach smallholder farmers.
