CA4SH 2024 Annual Report

2024 was a big year for soil health and for the Coalition of Action 4 Soil Health (CA4SH). We engaged global stakeholders in united advocacy to scale soil health through our priority areas of action, including science, policy, finance, youth engagement, and implementation on the ground. Scaling soil health can not happen in a vacuum; it requires the diverse perspectives, expertise, experience, and networks of the global community to come together. CA4SH is uniquely positioned to bring these voices together, offering a community and a meeting place for these partnerships to grow and bloom, and in 2024, we did just that in the name of healthy soil.

Field Guide Technical Implementation: Integrated Soil Fertility Management

The Guide is designed to firstly raise awareness among farmers about soil fertility problems, secondly, how different measures can be used in an integrated approach, and thirdly, how to try, monitoring and evaluating different practices. Understanding the key physical and biological features of soils is essential for developing sustainable improvement strategies. Helping farmers to gain and improve their knowledge will enable them to make conscious choices for how to manage their soils, their crops and their livestock.
