Resultados del concurso de fotografía sobre contaminación del suelo.

FAO / GSP recibió más de 55 fotos de suelos contaminados de diferentes países. Las fotos ganadoras se presentaron en el Atrio de la FAO durante el GSOP 18. El concurso de fotografía logró alentar a las personas a reflexionar sobre este tema global: la contaminación y la contaminación de nuestros suelos ya no deberían ser una realidad oculta.
