Improved soil health contributes to improved productivity, food security (SDG2), health outcomes (SDG3), gender equality (SDG5), and livelihoods, which is especially important in nations where agriculture is a major contributor to the GDP (SDG8,9). Soil health is inextricably linked to food security and climate (SDG13), and the World’s rural poor (SDG1) make up a disproportionate number of land managers. Land that is managed for healthy soil and regenerative agricultural systems offer greater opportunity for gender (SDG5) and social equality.

Submit a resource
Resources can be anything relating soil health with any of the SDGs. This includes scientific literature, policy documents or decisions, op-eds, blogs, videos, and everything else! We are also interested in learning about how your organisation addresses the SDGs through soil health, so we can demonstrate this in practice.
