Working Group

Vision
Our vision is to leverage the power of a global coalition to mobilize investments for research and implementation of healthy soil practices. By engaging with a diverse range of public and private sector investors, we aim to secure funding that supports both our advocacy and on-the-ground efforts. Our strategy focuses on channelling resources directly to farmers and land managers who are on the frontlines of combating soil and land degradation. Additionally, we seek to provide farmer organizations with a larger platform to amplify their voices and ensure they receive the necessary financial support. Through these efforts, we strive to create a sustainable funding ecosystem that promotes equitable and impactful investments in soil health.
