This session examines how coordinated policy reforms, innovative finance, and private sector engagement can accelerate biological solutions for soil health and climate action. Building on Brazil’s experience with bioinputs regulation, it highlights successful models of regulatory harmonisation, blended finance, and market incentives. The discussion focuses on microbial biofertilizers, biological nitrogen fixation, and nitrification inhibition as pathways to create enabling environments that empower farmers, attract investment, and advance sustainable agrifood systems through digital innovation and public-private partnerships.

Event objectives

Showcase evidence and policy innovations demonstrating how biological solutions can enhance soil health, improve nutrient efficiency, and contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation in agricultural systems.

Promote dialogue among policymakers, farmers, researchers, and private sector actors to identify regulatory and financial mechanisms that enable the scaling of bioinput technologies and sustainable soil management practices.

Inform the discussions leading to COP30 outcomes by providing actionable recommendations on how biosolutions can accelerate progress toward climate-resilient, low-emission agrifood systems.

Key outcomes

Increased awareness among negotiators and delegates about the potential of agricultural land restoration as a climate solution.

Strengthened global collaboration for agricultural restoration between governments, knowledge organizations, private sector and civil society organisations, establishing a coordination mechanism for knowledge sharing and joint action.

Presentation of the key insights and recommendations from the “COP30 webinar series on biological solutions”, providing negotiators, policymakers and donors with actionable guidance for post-COP30 scaling efforts.
