Add your contribution
Tell us what contribution you are making to our vision 2050.
"Worldwide healthy and carbon-rich soils to combat climate change and end hunger."
We are sure that a lot is happening out there that contributes to the realization of our vision. We are eager to hear from you about what you are doing so that we can increase your visibility and recognition. Use the form below to let us know about your relevant activities.
You can report multiple activities. Complete one form for each activity.
We will make a formal check before we publish your contribution.
Tip
The form below contains a field (8. Link) where you can indicate a link to a website where the activity is mentioned. However, we know that not all activities are documented on a website. If this is the case for your activity, but you would like a webpage, you can apply for a booth at our virtual fair (see next tab). This is a good way to present and publicize your activity in detail. Once you have created the booth, you can ask us to add the link to this activity description afterward.
