on World Soil Day and International Year of Soils

Under the leadership of the Kingdom of Thailand and within the framework of
the "Global Soil Partnership", FAO has supported the formal establishment
of the World Soil Day as a global awareness raising platform. The FAO
Conference, in June 2013, unanimously endorsed World Soil Day and requested
official adoption at the 68th UN General Assembly. In December 2013, the
68th UN General Assembly declared 5th of December as the World Soil Day.

Since 2012, the FAO-GSP has been organizing celebration events of this
important day.
