Every thing here on the earth that stands on and over the soil would be in a very good shape.

 The Earthly Importance Of The World Soil Day - :: 

The importance of maintain the earth in it’s perfect stage and the soil in a very perfect condition, the WORLD SOIL DAY was proposed and it was decided that December 5th would be celebrated as the WORLD SOIL DAY. A nod was given for the same by the different units that is controlled by the various state agencies which are head quartered at U.S.A for the same. Serious notes were taken to preserve the earth in a most healthy condition, and to keep the state of the soil in it’s most perfect manner and hence it was decided to observe and celebrate the World Soil Day of December 5th every year.

World Soil Day (WSD) is held annually on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and advocating for the sustainable management of soil resources.

An international day to celebrate Soil was recommended by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) in 2002. Under the leadership of the Kingdom of Thailand and within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership, FAO has supported the formal establishment of WSD as a global awareness raising platform. The FAO Conference unanimously endorsed World Soil Day  in June 2013 and requested its official adoption at the 68th UN General Assembly. In December 2013 the UN General Assembly responded by designating 5 December 2014 as the first official World Soil Day.

World Soil Day 2022: Theme, significance and history

The positive contributions of pulses to soil properties are many: they fix the atmosphere nitrogen and improve its biodiversity, fertility and structure.
That is why the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) dedicates this year's World Soil Day to pulses. Also, owing to their nutritional benefits, 2016 was declared the International Year of Pulses.
The campaign aims to connect people with soils and raise awareness on their critical importance in our lives.
Soil is an essential resource and a vital part of the natural environment from which most of the global food is produced.
At the same time, soil provides living space for humans, as well as essential ecosystem services, which are important for water regulation and supply, climate regulation, biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration and cultural services. But soils are under pressure from increases in population, higher demands for food and competing land uses. Approximately 33% of our global soils are degraded and policy makers around the world are exploring opportunities to embrace sustainable development via the sustainable development goals.

The theme of World Soil day 2020, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) campaign, is “ Keep soil alive, protect soil biodiversity ”. By encouraging people around the world to engage in proactively improving soil health, the campaign aims to fight soil biodiversity loss. It actually also aimed, in a long manner and for a long perspective to increase the productivity from the soil so that the farmers in particulars, would be benefitted.

History Of World Soil Day-:

World Soil Day became an international day after the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) recommended it in 2002. Under the leadership of Thailand and within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership, FAO supported the formal establishment of World Soil Day. The FAO Conference unanimously endorsed World Soil Day in June 2013. It even requested its official adoption at the 68th United Nations General Assembly. As a result, in December 2013, the UN General Assembly responded by designating December 5, 2014, as the first official World Soil Day.

The day also corresponds with the official birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, who had officially sanctioned the event. In 2016, this day was officially recognised in memory and with respect for the monarch after he died in October 2016 working as the head of state for seven years.

 Every year December 5 is celebrated as World Soil Day to bring people’s focus and attention on the importance of healthy soil as well as stress on the importance of sustainable management of soil resources
