At the recent UN Food Systems Stocktake (UNFSS +4) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Hanieh Moghani, Expert Member of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, addressed audiences at a side event titled From Riyadh to Mongolia: Bridging Action for Agroecology and Soil Health to Transform Food Systems. CA4SH is pleased to share Hanieh’s address so that her words can continue to move stakeholders to take action together.

The second United Nations Food Systems Summit Stocktake (UNFSS+4) was held from 27–29 July 2025 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, co-hosted by the Governments of Ethiopia and Italy. Marking four years since the inaugural 2021 UN Food Systems Summit, UNFSS+4 served as a critical moment to assess progress, deepen partnerships, and mobilize investments to accelerate food systems transformation globally.

The Coalition of Action 4 Soil Health (CA4SH)—established during the 2021 Summit—was actively engaged throughout the Stocktake. CA4SH co-hosted two thematic side events, co-organized a joint session with fellow UNFSS Coalitions of Action, and showcased its work through an exhibition booth, amplifying the role of healthy soil in delivering on food, nutrition, climate, nature, and land goals.
