World Soil Day
Soil is a valuable natural resource on which agriculture and food production are based. This day reminds us of the need to take care of the soil, to preserve and restore it in order to ensure the future of generations. It also highlights the importance of soil in absorbing carbon dioxide and reducing the effects of greenhouse gases. International Soil Day calls us to action, to educate and communicate methods to improve soil quality and sustainability, and to promote sustainable agriculture and environmentally sustainable development. Together we can care for soil as our precious resource and strive for a healthier, more sustainable planet.
