No results found.The Global Symposium on Soils for Nutrition outcome document highlights the latest research findings and multisectoral insights which evidenced that nutrient imbalance is a global and crosscutting threat with multifactorial drivers and effects on the agrifood systems and even on key planetary processes. The recommendations presented in this document aim to support the implementation of actions and development of policies towards healthy and fertile soils by 2030, allowing the sustainable production of more nutritious and safer food with a climatic and environmentally friendly approach and in the framework of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. This document also collates the communication campaign aimed at positioning the soils for nutrition topic in the public eye. The Global Symposium on Soils for Nutrition was held virtually from 26 to 29 July 2023. It was attended by over 9 500 participants representing more than 180 countries, including representatives of FAO Members, organizing institutions, academia, research institutions, the private sector, civil society, and farmers, as well as land users working on soil fertility, nutrient imbalances and related fields. This document is also based on the booklet “Soils for nutrition: state of the art" and is complemented by a book of proceedings, which presents extended abstracts of the various parallel sessions and posters presented during the symposium.

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookSalty soil adventures
A collection of ten children’s stories from around the world
2022Also available in:
In the framework of World Soil Day (WSD) 2021, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) and the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) launched a scientific children's booklet contest on salt-affected soils with the motto "Halt soil salinization, boost soil productivity". This is the collection of some of the best entries with a regionally balanced approach, in order to effectively reach children from all around the world, and raise awareness for the urgency of fighting salinization and sodification processes.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileSoil Mapping for Resilient Agrifood Systems (SoilFER) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In Central America and sub-Saharan Africa, the Soil Mapping for Resilient Agrifood Systems (SoilFER) project stands out as a unique framework aimed at unearthing valuable information from soils to guide policymaking and fertilizer recommendations both at national and field scale. This project directly addresses the fertilizer crisis driven by supply-chain shocks and current conflicts. Faced with the challenges posed by climate change, soil degradation and the misuse of inputs, SoilFER uses a holistic approach - from soil sampling in the field to advanced laboratory analysis and digital soil information systems as well as decision support tools. Funded by the US State Deparment, SoilFER promotes sustainable farming practices and soil health, positively impacting agricultural livelihoods and enhancing the resilience of agrifood systems in the 5 beneficiary countries. -

ITPS Soil Letters #9
2024Also available in:
No results found.This ITPS soil letter emphasizes the urgent need for a comprehensive global soil monitoring system to address the challenges of increasing food demand due to population growth and soil degradation. With more than 800 million people suffering from malnutrition in 2021, and food production needing to increase significantly by 2050, robust soil monitoring is essential to optimize agricultural productivity and maintain ecosystem services. Soil monitoring involves systematic measurement of soil properties over time and space to gather data crucial for managing food production, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and protecting water and biodiversity. The Global Soil Partnership (GSP) and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soil (ITPS) are key to establishing harmonized methods and securing long-term funding for sustained soil monitoring programs. -
