World Soil Day

World Soil Day, celebrated on 5th December, raises awareness about the critical importance of healthy soil for sustainable ecosystems, food security, and overall environmental health.

Yet, soil degradation due to pollution, erosion, and intensive farming threatens its health and productivity.
