December 5th is Soil
December 5th is Soil Day. This date was established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2014, with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of soil for food security, environmental health and sustainable development. The origin of the celebration is linked to the need to protect and preserve the planet's soils, which are essential for food production, biodiversity and climate change mitigation. Soil is a finite and vulnerable resource that faces threats such as degradation, erosion, pollution and uncontrolled urbanization.
