Global CA-CoP CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE

for sustainable agriculture and land management


Dear Subscribers,

It is with enormous pleasure that I am sharing this wonderful news with you all that Professor David Montgomery (photo attached) has been awarded the prestigious Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography’s (SSAG) Vega Medal 2020  for his profound contributions to physical geography, especially within the field of geomorphology.

The plan was that the Medal would have been given to David the King of Sweden at a ceremony at the Royal Castle in Stockholm on 23 April 2020. In connection with this, SSAG had organized the Vega Symposium with David Montgomery on the theme: “Soil and Civilization: Sustaining Farming for the Future” to be held the same day.

At the symposium, several presentations were to be made by David and his  colleagues.

Unfortunately, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the ceremony and the symposium have had to be postponed.

Please find attached the press release on the award of the Vega medal and the details of the symposium for your kind information.

Warmest congratulations to Professor Montgomery for this extraordinary recognition!
