World Soil Day

  Conference for World Soil Day . Zahedan (Iran), 14/12/2025 - 14/12/2025. World Soil Day 2025 is not merely a symbolic ceremony; it is a global call for urgent action. Healthy soil is the foundation for combating climate change, ensuring food production, and preserving the natural cycles of water and nutrients. The success of this event hinges on translating slogans and commitments into tangible actions and real investments at the level of farms, communities, and nat... Register!

World Soil Day 2025 focuses on the vital role that soils play in shaping sustainable, productive, and climate-resilient urban environments. As cities grow and climate challenges intensify, healthy soils are increasingly recognised as a critical resource for securing food, protecting water, regulating temperatures, and supporting biodiversity. This year marks six years of Malaysia’s ongoing collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in advancing the World Soil Day movement — a commitment to raising national awareness on soil stewardship and empowering communities to safeguard this foundational ecosystem. To deepen this understanding, the 2025 celebration features a special dual-site farm immersion programme at Oasis Herbal Farm and Sky Ladder Pineapple Farm in Port Dickson. This hands-on experience allows participants to learn directly from soil scientists, regenerative agriculture practitioners, and farm leaders who are actively restoring soil ecosystems and streng...

“Although soils are hidden and frequently forgotten, we rely on them for our daily activities and for the future of the planet,” the FAO chief said, underscoring the important support role they play in mitigating or adapting to a changing climate. Mr. Graziano da Silva specifically pointed to the potential of soils for carbon sequestration and storage – documented in FAO’s global soil organic carbon map . “Maintaining and increasing soil carbon stock should become a priority,” asserted the UN agriculture chief. He also noted how soils act as filters for contaminants, preventing their entry into the food chain and reaching water bodies such as rivers, lakes and oceans, flagging that this potential becomes limited when contamination exceeds the soils’ capacity to cope with pollution. In his message, Mr. Graziano da Silva noted the Global Soil Partnership in which FAO works with governments and other partners to build technical capacity and exchange knowledge on sustainable soil managem...
