Stakeholder Engagement and Communicating Soil Health
Working Group

Vision
Our vision is to elevate the critical role of soil health in achieving climate, food security, biodiversity and livelihoods through strategic engagement and communication efforts. By highlighting success stories from across the CA4SH membership, we seek to inspire and inform a broad audience of stakeholders through thought pieces, thematic webinars, co-created learning notes, and more. By creating a continuous dialogue and providing platforms for knowledge exchange, we aim to build a global movement that recognizes and supports the transformative potential of healthy soils.
