Exploring the Nexus of Soil Health, Diversified Crops, and Agricultural Productivity for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals
Achieving SDG 2 will require radical improvements in regenerative and sustainable agricultural production. The science to support such improvements is fueled by a wide diversity of knowledge sources ranging from cutting edge scientific research to Indigenous practices honed through generations. Maybe more than in other areas of scientific research, this science – and its successful application – hinges on inclusivity and uncommon collaborations.
This session will highlight scientific advances, applications, and lessons learned for inclusivity and collaboration across the three areas of research and development fundamental to improving regenerative and sustainable agriculture: soil health, adapted and diversified crops, and sustainable productivity growth. The nexus of these three areas, and the science that fuels them, will be explored in this session. The session will build on the recent Africa Fertilizer and Soil Health Summit Action Plan and Declaration.
