Hosted by the Herding for Health (H4H), a joint initiative between Conservation International and Peace Parks Foundation, in partnership with GIZ, CCARDESA, and Meat Naturally, this webinar forms part of a broader series convened in celebration of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026.

Soil organic carbon plays a critical role in building climate-resilient food systems by improving soil fertility, strengthening water retention, supporting productivity, and contributing to climate mitigation. At the same time, soil degradation and unsustainable land management continue to undermine these benefits, while evidence on soil restoration and regenerative agriculture is not always reflected in policy, planning, or investment decisions.  This 60-minute webinar will explore how evidence on soil health and soil organic carbon can be translated into policy-relevant messages and practical action. Participants will gain insight into the links between soil health, climate resilience, and food security, as well as the policy and governance gaps that continue to limit progress.

The UN Food Systems Coordination Hub is pleased to invite you to join us virtually for the final day of the Youth Leadership Programme (YLP) convening, Building the next generation of food systems leaders in developing countries, on Friday, 15 May 2026, 09:00–16:00 CEST.

Ahead of UNCCD COP17, this youth-led consultation, co-organized by the World Food Forum Youth Assembly, UNCCD Youth Caucus, Save Soil, and CA4SH (Coalition of Action 4 Soil Health) on 14 May 2026 (14:00-15:30 CEST), explores soil health as a critical development issue linking land restoration, agrifood systems, nutrition, and resilience.

This webinar, scheduled on 7 May 2026 (13:00-14:00 GMT) will help you gain a solid understanding of lobbying and advocacy - why it matters and how it works - through practical examples, and learn how to communicate effectively with policy stakeholders.

In collaboration with the Caribbean Climate Responsive Agriculture Forum, join us on 6 May 2026 (16:00-18:00 EAT) for our upcoming webinar “Why Soil Changes Everything: Reframing Soil as the Foundation of Climate , Food and Water Systems, and Development” – Africa-Caribbean Connect, Part 1. 

The Miombo woodlands, the world’s largest tropical dryland ecosystem, support over 65 million people but are rapidly degrading due to unsustainable land use and limited restoration incentives. On May 6th (12:00–13:00 EAT) at the Global Landscapes Forum 2026, this interactive session will explore how to connect conservation, livelihoods and finance to co-design locally led landscape solutions that restore ecosystems and strengthen rural economies.

At the 11th Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goal,  the World Food Forum (WFF) Global Youth Action Initiative led by FAO’s Office of Youth and Women (OYW), convenes young farmers, innovators, researchers, youth leaders and policymakers to shape youth‑driven priorities for smart farming and digital agriculture.

This webinar, scheduled on 4 May 2026, 12:00-13:15 CEST, will officially launch the new IUCN publication Policy and Legal Enabling Conditions for Sustainable Agriculture: A Multilevel Comparative Approach. 

On 29 April 2026 (14:00–16:00 GMT+2), AgriCord and the Pan-African Farmers’ Organization (PAFO) will host the first session of a 4-part webinar series titled “From Soil Degradation to Regeneration: Farmer-Led Innovations and Enabling Policies for Sustainable Soil Health in Africa.”

The Youth4Soil Solution Showcase is a dynamic platform celebrating the power of youth to drive transformative change in soil health and sustainable land use. This activity emerged from the growing recognition that restoring our planet starts from the ground up, literally and metaphorically, and that young people are not just participants but frontline innovators in this mission.

Biochar field trials are taking place across many regions, but the resulting data remains fragmented, difficult to access, and rarely comparable across projects. This slows learning, increases the cost of experimentation, and limits the ability of producers and companies to make informed decisions.

 The Biochar Resilience Network has created a pre-competitive Data Commons where anonymised results from biochar field trials are shared and compared across geographies, feedstocks, and production systems.

This webinar will introduce the initiative and present the emerging platform designed to host and explore these datasets. 

Hooves of Hope is a powerful gathering at the intersection of people, planet, and purpose — where the rhythms of pastoral life meet the urgency of global change. This event brings together scientists, pastoralists, and policymakers to explore how grazing systems, when managed wisely, can restore rangelands, build soil carbon, and contribute meaningfully to climate solutions.

Measurement is foundational to the transformation of global food systems toward sustainability, yet building the capacity to measure what matters — across geographies, commodities, and stakeholder interests — remains deeply challenging. This virtual seminar, co-organized by Harvard Kennedy School Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government and partners, brings together practitioners working at the frontier of this challenge, from soil health to supply chains to diet quality.

The webinar, hosted by the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub on 12 March, will explore the conceptual framework around circular economy and how it can be applied to food systems transformation, including best practices for increasing resource efficiency and regenerative production practices to restore soil and ecosystems.

This consultation, organized by the UNCCD CSO Panel, forms part of our ongoing effort to gather insights, experiences, and recommendations from civil society organisations and stakeholders working on drought, land degradation, resilience, and community‑led action.

This International Women’s Day, CGIAR invites you to a unique global conversation connecting senior women leaders with the 21 members of the Breaking Boundaries 2026 Antarctica Expedition. 

The British Society of Soil Science is pleased to announce our next Zoom into Soil webinar will take place on Thursday 19 February from 12:00 - 1:00pm (UK time) and is free of charge to register. Join Dr. Diana Vieira and Dr. Arwyn Jones from the European Commission as they discuss EU Mission Soil and the new EU Soil Monitoring Law.

Join us for an interactive info session to learn about the new #Youth4Soil mentorship initiative, how to apply, and what the programme entails for 2026!

Join COP30 Climate High-Level Champion Dan Ioschpe and other speakers in this virtual session on Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 8:00 BRST (GMT-3), which will acknowledge the significant contributions of the Action Agenda during COP30, reflect on key outcomes, and share a forward-looking vision for 2026.

To celebrate World Soil Day and the launch of the International Year of Women Farmer, we, the Global Programmes “Soil Protection and Rehabilitation” (ProSoil) and Soil Matters – Innovations for Soil Health and Agroecology, are happy to invite you to the next Knowledge Nugget! 

On World Soil Day 2025, the Sustainable Food Systems Youth Foundation invites you to a virtual webinar themed “Healthy Soils for Healthy Cities.” Scheduled for 5 December 2025, this 90‑minute session will explore how healthy soils underpin climate resilience, food security, biodiversity, and sustainable urban development. With the topic “Healthy Soils, Vibrant Cities: Linking Climate, Biodiversity, Food, and Youth Leadership,” the webinar will highlight youth‑led soil stewardship under the Nigerian Farmers’ Soil Health Scheme (NFSHS) and provide insights into soil health, climate regulation, urban resilience, biodiversity, and agroecology. This event offers a unique opportunity to learn, share experiences, and connect with practitioners, experts, and youth leaders driving innovation and action across Nigeria’s food and environmental systems.
