World Soil Day 2024: Significance, History, Slogans, Messages and Quotes to Celebrate this Day
Celebrate World Soil Day 2024 by promoting sustainable soil management to combat soil degradation, protect ecosystems and ensure a healthier planet
World Soil Day, celebrated annually on December 5, highlights the indispensable role of soil in sustaining life on Earth. It draws attention to the urgent need to address soil degradation caused by activities such as deforestation, urban expansion and unsustainable agriculture. This day also emphasizes the importance of adopting sustainable soil management practices to preserve this crucial resource for future generations.
History and significance
World Soil Day was initiated by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) in 2002 and officially recognised by the United Nations in 2013. The date, 5 December, was chosen to honour King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, a strong advocate of sustainable soil management, as it coincides with his birthday.
Soil plays a vital role in agriculture, ecosystems and climate regulation. It acts as a natural filter, supports biodiversity and stores carbon, helping to mitigate climate change. However, the growing problem of soil degradation threatens food security and environmental stability, making it essential to focus on this resource.
The theme of World Soil Day 2024, “Caring for soils: measure, monitor, manage”, encourages people and organisations to adopt practices that ensure soil health and sustainability.
