Dr. David C. Johnson is a molecular biologist at New Mexico State University, and a collaborating scientist with Arizona State University, Texas A&M, Michigan State University, and the United State’s Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. Dr. David Johnson and his wife, Hui-Chun Su Johnson, are inventors of the Johnson-Su Composting Bioreactor and developers of Biologically Enhanced Agricultural Management (BEAM). Dr. Johnson’s most recent publication on Adaptive Multi-paddock (AMP) Grazing is a benchmark in the peer-reviewed analysis of regenerative grazing to build soil carbon and other soil health indicators, such as fungal to bacterial ratios.

Precious Phiri is a coordinator at IGugu Trust and Regeneration International. She is also a former Program Manager at the Africa Center for Holistic Management (ACHM) in Zimbabwe, the birthplace of Holistic Management and the first Savory Institute hub. Precious has coordinated training in regenerative grazing and holistic decision making with agricultural and pastoral communities Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Kenya where she has helped guild and been witness to extensive improvements in livelihoods for these populations who are fully dependent on land-based resources and industries.

Dr. Leigh Ann Winowiecki is the Soil and Land Health Research Lead at World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), Lead for the Coalition of Action For Soil Health (CA4SH), and Lead for the Soil and Land Health Global Research LeadHealth Resolution. CA4SH was co-host at the first ever UNFCCC COP Food Systems Pavilion, and the Soil Health Resolution introduces soil health into UNFCCC deliberations and asks national parties to the UNFCCC to include soil health in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. A soil scientist, her research focuses on scaling farmer-centered landscape restoration and understanding , understanding drivers of degradation and quantifying the impacts of land management on soil organic carbon dynamics. She is based in Nairobi, Kenya. Since 2009 she has co-developed and implemented the Land Degradation Surveillance Framework (LDSF) in over 40 countries to assess ecosystem health. She has published widely on soil organic carbon, ecosystem services and land degradation across sub-Saharan Africa and the tropics, including a coherent set of open access datasets. She co-leads the Coalition of Action 4 Soil Health (CA4SH) from the UNFSS, which aims to catalyze investments in soil health for human well-being and climate. .
