World Soil Day(WSD) celebrated on 5th of december 2015 at FAO headquarters in Rome and FAO regional offices.Soils have been neglected for too long. We fail to connect soil with our food, water, climate, biodiversity and life. We must invert this tendency and take up some preserving and restoring actions. The World Soil Day campaign aims to connect people with soils and raise awareness on their critical importance in our lives.The International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS), in 2002, made a resolution proposing the 5th of December as World Soil Day to celebrate the importance of soil as a critical component of the natural system and as a vital contributor to human wellbeing. In December 2013, the 68th UN General Assembly declared 5th of December as the World Soil Day.
