Synopsis (short abstract) Soils provide the foundation for healthy food production and rural development, thereby contributing to global food security. As complex and dynamic systems, soil properties vary greatly and are susceptible to deterioration as the intensification of production and demand for productive soils increase. Sustainable soil management is fundamental to reversing the growing trend of soil degradation, including erosion, loss of soil biodiversity and nutrients, compaction, acidification, salinization and pollution. Within this perspective, this project supported the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) efforts to promote sustainable soil management and execute the Regional Implementation Plan of Eurasia.

    Promoting Sustainable Soil Management through the Global Soil Partnership - GCP/GLO/961/MUL 2021

    Soils are essential to life on Earth they regulate nutrients, greenhouse gases and water cycles, provide raw materials, host one quarter of terrestrial biodiversity and function as the largest terrestrial carbon pool. Moreover, soils contribute to human development and well being, delivering a range of ecosystem services. As such, soil degradation poses a serious threat to food security and nutrition, as well as climate change adaptation and mitigation measures. Despite their importance, the protection of soils has long been neglected. Soil sustainability is a key factor in making progress towards the SDGs, while the protection and conservation of soil resources remain critical to sustainable development. Importantly, sustainable soil management approaches can contribute to the prevention, minimization and reversal of degradation processes. Established in 2012, the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) acts as a mechanism to strengthen collaboration among stakeholders in soil sustainability and enhance synergies across interventions. Capitalizing on the GSP network, this project promoted sustainable soil management around the world through the delivery of normative and technical actions that aim to optimize human land use and management for the long term maintenance of soil properties and functions.

    Countering the Global Threat to Food Security through the Promotion of Sustainable Soil Management - GCP/GLO/671/MUL 2019

    Soils are central to the creation of a host of goods and services integral to ecosystems and human well-being. Soils are critical for achieving food security and nutrition, as 95 percent of our food is produced in soils. Soils also contribute to adaptation to climate change and building resilience of smallholders. With the new Sustainable Development Goals, countries are committing to ending hunger, achieving food security, improving nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture by 2030. The Global Soil Partnership constitutes an agenda for action to promote sustainable soil management. Its Regional Soil Partnerships (composed of national focal points) have developed regional implementation plans based on national priorities to support sustainable soil management and enhance the provision of key ecosystem services. This project built on a successful cooperation with Switzerland, who supported the International Year of Soils as part of the Healthy Soils Facility, and focused on supporting the implementation of a number of activities for strengthening soil governance at different levels.

    Promoting Sustainable Soil Management in the Framework of the Global Soil Partnership: Phase II - GCP/GLO/853/RUS 2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Healthy soils are key to food production, rural development and ecological sustainability. Increasing global demand for food, feed, fuel and fibre all of which come from soil puts significant pressure on soils, many of which are already degraded and depleted. In order to restore soils and keep them healthy and productive, sustainable soil management (SSM) practices must be implemented worldwide. This project built on the results of a previous project that supported SSM within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership (GSP). In this Phase II project, activities were implemented in the 13 countries of the Eurasian Soil Partnership: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan as well as at the global level.
