Science of Scaling Biosolutions for Soil Health
As Brazil prepares to host COP30 in Belém, CGIAR Climate Action, together with the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Ministerio da Agricultura - MAPA), Embrapa, and CGIAR Multifunctional Landscapes, are convening a series of high-level dialogues to put biological solutions at the center of climate action in agriculture.
This webinar showcased how biological nutrient management technologies can be mainstreamed across cropping systems through evidence-based solutions that align science, policy, and practice. By highlighting innovations in phosphorus solubilization, microbial inoculants, and integrated crop-livestock-agroforestry systems, the session aimed to catalyze increased investment from governments, private sector actors, and development partners while demonstrating concrete pathways for farmers to reduce input dependency and enhance soil health at scale.
This was the first in a COP30 dialogue series, "Biological Solutions for Low-Carbon Agriculture". The webinar series will demonstrate why biological solutions are powerful climate adaptation tools that deliver powerful mitigation co-benefits, and how they can be effectively integrated into comprehensive strategies for climate-resilient agricultural economies. The webinars will showcase real-world applications across agrifood systems, with particular attention to solutions that strengthen resilience while contributing to global climate goals and identifying strategic policy actions that COP30 could catalyze to unlock biological solutions at scale.
