Francis Bosah

A persuasive soil health and regenerative agriculture paradigm advocate and solutionary, Francis is an expert and passionate for restoring, protecting and enhancing farmland biodiversity and ecosystem services to essentially address the critical interlinked challenges of land/soil, water, food/nutrition, climate change and dwindling smallholder farmers’ revenue by co-catalyzing collaborations/coalitions that will ambitiously push regenerative and net-positive local food systems forward across the globe. He started his career with multinational oil & gas companies in Nigeria as an environmental public health consultant in 2004 with the core focus of advocating and providing expert leadership for transitioning to far more effective –nature-based– alternatives. Following his conviction that continued production of fossil fuel and hydrocarbon based agrochemicals is a food security and climate change threat, he ambitiously resigned his consultancy job and acquired expert capacity for a net-positive agriculture and ecosystem restoration. He is a professional member of Society for Ecological Restoration, Founder of Health of the Soil International and currently playing a board advisory role to many nonprofit charitable organizations including Africa Organization of Technology in Agriculture, Soil4Climate, Growing to Give and Food as Medicine Global, as well as a Knowledge Partner at the Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate and the Coalition of Action 4 Soil Health.
