Invest in Soil Health: Fostering the future of climate change mitigation and adaptation

Soil health regenerative practices are difficult to implement at scale. Leveraging finance is a key incentive for just transition. This session explores practices benefiting soil health, data driven agricultural transition and investment opportunities to facilitate climate mitigation and adaptation.

Taking the form of a “fireside chat”, the facilitator will pose questions to each panellist and catalyse an interactive discussion on what soil health looks like in practice and how investment and just transition can be achieved.

The British Society of Soil Science (BSSS) is pleased to welcome onto this panel:

  • Jack Hannam, BSSS President (Chair)
  • Paul Luu, 4 per 1000 Initiative
  • Dipayan Dey, South Asian Forum for Environment
  • Carolina Nascimento – Four Paws
  • Juliana Luiz, Escolhas Institute
  • Isaac Kabongo, Ecological Christian Organization
  • Salome Owuonda, Africa Centre for People, Institutions and Society (ACEPIS)

Taking the form of a “fireside chat”, the facilitator will pose questions to each panellist and catalyse an interactive discussion on what soil health looks like in practice and how investment and just transition can be achieved.
