World Soil Day

World Soil Day, celebrated on December 5th each year, raises awareness about the vital role soil plays in sustaining life and supporting ecosystems. It highlights the importance of healthy soils for food production, clean water, and combating climate change. Established by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 2014, the day encourages global efforts to protect and preserve soil. Each year features a specific theme, focusing on issues like soil health, degradation, and sustainable management practices, urging individuals, communities, and governments to take action for soil conservation.
