Global Food Talk – How do we ensure healthy soils as the foundation of sustainable food for all?

Join Food Nation’s Global Food Talk held in the conjunction with UN’s s World Soil Day on 5 December from 14:00-15:15 (CET) and meet leading high-level profiles from businesses and organisations working with innovative solutions. Find the full programme below.

The health of the soil is crucial to ensuring a stable and sustainable food supply in the future. The global food supply is under pressure from climate change, population growth, geopolitical instability, and an increasing dependence on limited natural resources. Therefore, targeted efforts are needed to improve soil conditions to ensure productivity and quality in future agriculture and food production.

Join the event and be inspired by innovative solutions, scalable actions, and partnerships aimed at improving soil health as the foundation for sustainable food systems. Hear from international stakeholders on how global efforts to enhance soil conditions can support climate goals, promote biodiversity, and contribute to a sustainable food system. Denmark and the rest of the world can only succeed in achieving these goals by sharing experiences and working together.

The main question for the talk is:

How do we ensure healthy soils as the foundation of sustainable food for all?
