Every year, December 5 is celebrated as World Soil Day. The day is primarily celebrated to bring our focus and attention on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources. World Soil Day became an international day to celebrate Soil after the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) in 2002 recommended it. 

A report in UN suggests that under the leadership of the Kingdom of Thailand and within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership, the Food and Agricultural Organisation supported the formal establishment of World Soil Day. The FAO Conference unanimously endorsed World Soil Day in June 2013. It even requested its official adoption at the 68th UN General Assembly. As a result in December 2013, the UN General Assembly responded by designating 5 December 2014 as the first official World Soil Day. Here are some World Soil Day 2020 images and quotes.
