The climate crisis is intensifying global food and nutrition insecurity and environmental challenges, degrading ecosystems, and highlighting the urgent need for action. Recent disruptions in food, fuel, and fertilizer markets have exposed the vulnerabilities and import dependencies of food systems worldwide, particularly in low-income nations. Investing in soil health and green fertilizer solutions can strengthen food security and nutrition, restore ecosystems, drive sustainable inclusive economic growth, and mitigate climate change while adapting to its impacts. 

This event brings together perspectives from research, development, government and the finance community to discuss 1) multi-stakeholder action for addressing financing, implementation and knowledge barriers, and 2) green fertilizer domestic production in Africa, including modeled costs, cost drivers, and developmental impacts.
