Turning Vision into Action for Adapted Crops and Soils: Accelerating Progress, Attracting Investments

The Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils (VACS) promotes nutrient-dense, climate-adapted opportunity crops grown in healthy soils, securing a sustainable food supply in the face of climate change. These crops stabilize land, restore soils, promote biodiversity, and reverse desertification — contributing to a larger global movement that recognizes healthy soils as essential to feeding a healthy population. This session focuses on how to harness the momentum of VACS to accelerate progress and broaden investments in agricultural practices that support better human and planetary health.
