The Soil Revolution 2026

Theme: “From Ground to Globe: Scaling Regenerative Agriculture for Climate, Livelihoods & Food Systems”

Dates: July 17–19, 2026
Location: Pakhuis West, Elementenstraat 25, 1014 AR Amsterdam, Netherlands

Conference Overview

As the world moves from pilot projects to large-scale adoption of regenerative agriculture, The Soil Revolution 2026 focuses on scaling impact—from individual farms to national food systems and global climate strategies.

Under the theme “From Ground to Globe,” the 2026 conference explores how healthy soils can drive climate resilience, farmer livelihoods, biodiversity restoration, and inclusive food systems at scale. The event emphasizes real-world implementation, finance, governance, technology integration, and cross-border collaboration.

This three-day gathering will unite farmers, governments, scientists, financiers, development agencies, and agri-tech innovators to accelerate the transition from promising soil solutions to system-wide transformation.
