Soils as an asset: Galvanizing public support to achieve our shared ambitions for NDCs.
Soil health continues to decline globally at an alarming rate despite our improved understanding of the interconnectedness of soil health, food production, climate, water and biodiversity. Recognizing the urgency for action and change, many actors are coming together to raise awareness about the central role of soils.
Developing practical and implementable public policy at the global, regional, national and local levels will not only be critical in driving successful outcomes for improving soil health and the uptake of best management practices at the farm level, but also for including it more prominently in the NDCs.
