World Soil Day, 5 December
December 05, 2023 | FAO |
World Soil Day, observed annually on December 5, highlights the critical importance of healthy soil and advocates for sustainable soil resource management. Instituted by the UN General Assembly in 2014, the day aligns with the birthday of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, who sanctioned the event. The 2023 campaign underscores the interdependence of soil and water in sustaining life, emphasizing their role in food production, ecosystems, and human well-being. Climate change and human activities are causing soil degradation, impacting water resources. Sustainable soil management practices, including minimum tillage and organic matter addition, are vital for soil health, erosion reduction, and water retention. The campaign aims to raise global awareness about the crucial link between soil and water, promoting measures for their preservation for future generations.
