World Soil Day #youtubeshorts #shortvideo #short
World Soil Day, celebrated annually on December 5, aims to raise awareness about the importance of healthy soil and sustainable management of soil resources. It was officially recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in 2013, following a proposal by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) and support from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). 2024
Theme
The theme for World Soil Day 2024 is "Soil: Where Life Begins." This highlights soil as a critical resource that supports ecosystems, biodiversity, food security, and climate stability.
Why is Soil Important?
Food Production: Over 95% of food comes from soil. Biodiversity: A single gram of soil can contain millions of organisms, making it a hotspot for biodiversity. Water Filtration: Healthy soil filters and stores water. Climate Regulation: Soils store significant amounts of carbon, helping to mitigate climate change.
How to Participate
Educate others about soil health through events, workshops, or social media campaigns. Support sustainable agriculture and soil conservation practices. Plant trees and advocate against deforestation, which leads to soil degradation. Celebrating World Soil Day is a step toward preserving this precious resource for future generations.
