World Soil Day 2023: Every year on December 5, World Soil Day (WSD) is observed to raise awareness of the value of good soil and to promote the sustainable management of soil resources. In 2002, the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) advocated the establishment of an international day to commemorate soil. Under the auspices of the worldwide Soil Partnership and led by the Kingdom of Thailand, FAO has formally endorsed the creation of WSD as a platform for spreading worldwide awareness. 

World Soil Day 2023: Theme

The goal of World Soil Day (WSD) 2023 and its campaign is to increase public awareness of the role that soil and water play in creating resilient and sustainable agrifood systems. World Soil Day 2023 is centered around the theme, ‘Soil and water, a source of life.’

As per the UN website, “The vital connection between soil and water is essential to the existence of our planet. More than 95% of our food comes from these two basic sources. The soil water that plants need to absorb nutrients is what keeps our ecosystems together. Our agricultural systems’ cornerstone is this symbiotic interdependence.”

World Soil Day 2023: Famous Quotes

• “The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life.

According to FAO, our soils produce 95% of the food that we eat. Our ability to grow food would be impossible without healthy soils. With over nine billion people on the planet by 2050, farmers will need to produce forty-nine percent more food in a climate that is unpredictable and changing at an increasing rate. We won’t be able to meet this challenge and continue human development without good soil.

Moreover, in the human timeline, soil is a non-renewable resource; we cannot replenish all of the healthy soil we lose. One centimeter of soil can form in as little as a millennium. Maintaining our sustainable future and ensuring food security depend on maintaining our soil.
