MeetingPlan of Action for Pillar One of the Global Soil Partnership
Promote sustainable management of soil resources for soil protection, conservation and sustainable productivity
2013Also available in:
The development of the Pillar 1 plan of action was initiated during the “Managing Living Soils” workshop held in Rome, Italy during December 2012. This workshop focused on the regional and national status, as well as challenges and priorities for sustainable soil management. This was followed by a Pillar 1 discussion session during the 2nd Global Soil Week held in Berlin, October 2013. The aim of the discussion was to decide on the structure of the plan of action and its main content. A formal W orking Group of 26 members was formed according to the GSP Rules of Procedure, tasked with developing a draft plan of action for Pillar 1 from November 2013 to March 2014. The draft plan of action was submitted to the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) for its review and endorsement. Following a very dynamic process during which ITPS recommendations were included, the draft was endorsed by ITPS during its second working session in April 2014 and submitted to the Second Plenary Ass embly of the GSP. The Plenary Assembly consolidated the original 11 recommendations endorsed by the ITPS into five concrete recommendations. Additional comments and suggestions from GSP members were incorporated and this final version of the Pillar One Plan of Action was endorsed by the Plenary Assembly of the GSP on 23 July, 2014. -
MeetingPlan of Action for Pillar One of the Global Soil Partnership 2013

The Global Soil Partnership (GSP) was formally established by members of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) during its Council in December 2012. The Council recognized soil as an essential natural resource, which is often overlooked and has not received adequate attention in recent years, despite the fact that production of food, fiber, fodder, and fuel critically depends on healthy soils. The Mandate of the GSP is to improve governance of the limited soil resource s of the planet in order to guarantee agriculturally productive soils for a food secure world, and support other essential ecosystem services, in accordance with the sovereign right of each State over its natural resources. In order to achieve its mandate, the GSP addresses the following five pillars of action to be implemented in collaboration with its regional soil partnerships: 1. Promote sustainable management of soil resources for soil protection, conservation and sustainable productivity; 2. Encourage investment, technical cooperation, policy, education, awareness and extension in soil; 3. Promote targeted soil research and development focusing on identified gaps, priorities, and synergies with related productive, environmental, and social development actions; 4. Enhance the quantity and quality of soil data and information: data collection (generation), analysis, validation, reporting, monitoring and integration with other disciplines; 5. Harmonisation of methods, measurements a nd indicators for the sustainable management and protection of soil resources. This document presents a plan of action for Pillar 1. Pillar 1 is strongly linked with Pillars 2 and 5 regarding activities for its implementation, and strongly relies on Pillars 3 and 4 for the generation of technical information that will be used in its activities. Pillar 1 is therefore the overarching Pillar upon which the other four Pillars will contribute in order to provide the context and activities for sustain able soil management implementation and promotion. -
