At the seventh session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA<\/em>–7<\/em>)<\/a> this year, some of the most meaningful moments came from working on issues we are deeply passionate about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The soils agenda came up very clearly. There is a lot of work happening around land degradation. If we invest in healthy soils from the start, we reduce the need for costly restoration later. That preventative approach is beginning to find real currency and traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also had strong conversations on rangelands, <\/strong>with the leadership of Mongolia\u2019s presidency evident throughout the week. They were present everywhere, talking about their commitment to the land\u2013water nexus and to working on rangelands with concrete outcomes. I think we are going to see real breakthroughs in how we talk about pastoralism and how we protect our grasslands around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when negotiations felt bogged down, there was still momentum in these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What stood out most, though, was the idea of resilience and community. Resilience is becoming the organising framework around which the world is starting to reorder itself\u2014and agriculture is right at the centre of that. Agriculture builds community. It always has. And that\u2019s why this work sits exactly in the space we love to operate in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we look ahead to 2026\u2014with major moments across climate, biodiversity, and land\u2014these conversations matter. Nairobi feels like the kickoff to another big year of work, partnerships, and collective effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
