The Recarbonization of Agricultural Soils (RECSOIL) initiative of the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) has officially kicked off in Ecuador with the completion of the first training phase. The programme collaborates with local and national stakeholders to implement sustainable soil management (SSM) practices to improve soil conditions and increase soil carbon stocks. Ultimately, the RECSOIL goal is to mitigate and adapt to climate change, boost soil resilience to extreme weather events, increase farmers' livelihoods, and improve food security.
