Welcome to the MDPI World Soil Day 2025 Webinar!
We are delighted to invite you to the World Soil Day 2025 Webinar, taking place on 5 December 2025, as part of the global celebrations organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. World Soil Day is an international initiative dedicated to raising awareness of the vital role that healthy soils play in sustaining life on Earth, ensuring food security, and maintaining ecosystem balance.
This year’s theme, “Soil and Water: Sources of Life,” highlights the intrinsic connection between soil and water as the foundation of our agricultural systems, biodiversity, and climate resilience. By recognizing their interdependence, this year’s observance calls for global action to protect and manage these essential resources sustainably.
The webinar will feature leading experts and researchers from around the world who will share their latest findings, insights, and experiences in soil science and sustainable land management. It will also provide an interactive platform for dialog and collaboration, inspiring innovative approaches to safeguard soil health and promote a more sustainable and resilient future for all.
