WE DEPEND ON SOILSPROTECT OUR SOILS SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

Healthy soils are the basis for healthy food production

Soils are the foundation for vegetation which is cultivated

or managed for feed, fibre, fuel and medicinal products

Soil is a non-renewable resource; its preservation is

essential for food security and our sustainable future

Soils store and filter water, improving our resilience to

floods and droughts

Educate the public

Promote investment in sustainable soil management activities

Raise awareness among civil society and decision makers

Support e�ective policies and actions for the sustainable management and

protection of soil resources

Advocate for rapid capacity enhancement for soil

information collection and monitoring at all levels

Strengthen initiatives in connection with the Sustainable

Development Goals (SDG) process and Post-2015 agenda

Soils support our planet’s biodiversity and they host a

quarter of the total

Soils help to combat and adapt to climate change by playing a

key role in the carbon cycle

Our soils are in danger because of expanding cities, deforestation, unsustainable land use and

management practices, pollution, overgrazing and climate change.

The current rate of soil degradation threatens the capacity to meet the needs of future

generations.

The promotion of sustainable soil and land management is

central to ensuring a productive food system, improved rural

livelihoods and a healthy environment
