dc.description.abstract 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.
