World Soil Day is celebrated internationally every year on December 5th. It emphasizes the critical role that soil plays in food security, climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and overall sustainable development. Soil is a vital natural resource that supports plant growth, provides essential nutrients, and plays a crucial role in the Earth's ecosystems. World Soil Day has a different theme each year that focuses on the different aspects of soil and its significance in global issues. For the year 2023, the theme for World Soil Day is to raise awareness on the relationship between soil and water which is the foundation of our agricultural systems.
