Three days to build the ecosystem.
200 leaders from government, science, civic movements, and industry. Tallinn, February 2027. Invitation-only. A working assembly — not a conference.
A working assembly.
The AllGaia Annual Convening brings together 200 leaders from government, science, civic movements, and industry to do real work on the most foundational question of our time: how human and planetary restoration become one integrated practice.
Hosted by the AllGaia Foundation, the Convening operates from a single principle: the systems that sustain human wellbeing are the same systems that sustain soil, ecosystems, and biological diversity. Treating these as separate problems has produced fragmented solutions. We treat them as one.
The Convening uses the Biological Foundational System framework — a science-based model linking soil composition, food quality, human biology, and civic capacity into a single chain of evidence. Each year, governments, researchers, movement leaders, and corporate partners use this framework to draft policy, set research roadmaps, scale civic networks, and align supply chains.
Outputs are recorded permanently through the Factum Protocol — an open, on-chain record ensuring commitments are not lost between events. What is decided in Tallinn is implemented across the year that follows, with accountability visible to all.
February 2027 marks the first AllGaia Annual Convening — the beginning of an annual rhythm that will run for decades.
A demonstration case, not a problem case.
The 2027 Convening is hosted in Tallinn because Estonia represents what is possible when soil, food, and civic health are taken seriously at national scale. These are not promises — they are measured outcomes.
Below EU average
Pesticide use per hectare sits well below the European Union average.
Highest in EU
Estonia has the second-highest share of organic farmland in the European Union — approximately 23% of utilised agricultural land, after Austria.
Soil organic carbon
Soil organic carbon levels are trending positively across measured agricultural land.
Self-governance
More than 30 years of restored independence and self-governance shape institutional capacity today.
Diagnosis. Integration. Commitment.
Not a conference. A coordinated activation. Each day builds: from diagnosis to integration to commitment. The full programme runs in a central Tallinn venue — a winter format built for focused working sessions, not field visits.
Fragmentation — what do we actually know?
Everyone brings their silo: government data, scientific findings, lived experience from movements, market reality from corporations. Identify what we agree on. Name what we don't. Map the real landscape.
Output: Shared diagnostic. Consensus on evidence. Clarity on unknowns.
Integration — how do these fit together?
Working groups form around the real problems the cohort brings — across evidence, regulatory principles, demonstration regions, partnership architecture, funding accountability, and implementation. Scientists and policy makers co-author briefs. Movements and institutional partners design pilots.
Output: one-page brief per group. Named leads. Timelines. Resources.
Commitment — what will we do?
Morning: each working group presents, refines, finalises. Midday: all-hands declaration recorded on blockchain. Afternoon: bilateral implementation meetings.
Output: public commitment record. Recorded via the Factum Protocol. Accountability locked.
200 curated leaders. No observers.
Everyone is solving something. No press in the working sessions. No livestream. Working partnerships, not LinkedIn connections.
Policy makers
Government ministers, policy advisors, international bodies (OECD, FAO, WHO), think tank directors.
Researchers
Peer-reviewed scientists, institution heads, clinical trial leads, data scientists.
Movement leaders
Network chairs, regional leaders, youth founders, land stewards.
Corporate leaders
Supply chain heads, brand founders, retail partners, tech partners.
Not panels. Active problem-solving.
Working groups form around the people actually in the room. The candidate domains below frame the territory; the final groups, leads, and outputs are confirmed once the participant cohort is confirmed. Each group produces a one-page brief by end of Day 2.
Evidence standard
Scientists and institutions define what counts as credible evidence across the BFS chain — accepted data sources, known gaps, and a publication agenda. Candidate output: the first AllGaia evidence standard.
Regulatory principles
Policy makers and scientists draft regulatory principles for integrated restoration claims — what honest labelling, health, and environmental claims should look like across jurisdictions. Candidate output: a principles document, not legislation.
Demonstration regions
Where the BFS chain can be tested as an integrated model on the ground. Estonia first; other regions named on merit. Candidate output: 3–5 candidate regions with criteria, partners, and Year 1 milestones.
Partnership architecture
How governments, universities, NGOs, foundations, and civic networks participate without losing independence. Candidate output: a partnership model, eligibility criteria, and a public accountability standard.
Funding and accountability
How restoration funding flows, gets reported, audited, and reviewed across jurisdictions. Candidate output: a transparent restoration-funding standard. Capital readiness, not capital commitments.
Implementation coalition
Converts the room into a year-round coalition — named leads, quarterly rhythm, a 12-month work plan, and the criteria for the next Convening. Candidate output: the operating mandate for 2027–2028.
Final group count and titles announced with the December 2026 programme release. Working groups continue year-round with quarterly check-ins and peer review — they do not close at the end of the Convening.
Concrete deliverables.
Not slides. Not goodie bags. Working agreements you can implement on Monday morning.
Working group output
A one-page brief from your working group — co-authored, with named leads and a timeline you helped set.
Direct connections
Real relationships with 30 to 50 leaders working on the same problem. Not LinkedIn — working partnerships.
On-chain commitment
Your personal commitment recorded on the Factum Protocol. Permanent, public, and trackable across the year.
Implementation pathway
Clarity on next steps — research funding, regulatory submissions, partnership MOUs, or movement scaling actions.
Annual cohort access
Year-round access to the Convening cohort — quarterly updates, working group continuations, peer review.
Public record
All Convening outputs are released publicly post-event. Your contribution becomes part of a permanent global record.
What is agreed here is implemented across the year that follows, with public accountability.
The Factum Protocol records every commitment. No quiet retreat to business as usual.
