World Soil Day was first established in 2002 at the 17th World Congress of the International Union of Soil Science (IUSS). Since then, every year on 5 December, a variety of campaigns have drawn attention to the vital importance of our soils. The aim is to raise awareness for the preservation and restoration of healthy soil ecosystems.
