Rome - Representatives of more than 500 partners, including the Members of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), are gathering this week for the 10th Plenary Assembly of the Global Soil Partnership (GSP), which since inception a decade ago has worked to raise global and local awareness of the importance of sustainable soil management and guide policies to tackle issues ranging from erosion, salinization, and pollution to biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration and nutrient imbalances.

The Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) was established in 2017 to build and strengthen the capacity of laboratories in soil analysis and to respond to the need for harmonizing soil analytical data. Harmonization of methods, units, data and information is critical to (1) provide reliable and comparable information between countries and projects; (2) allow the generation of new harmonized soil data sets; and (3) support evidence-based decision making for sustainable soil management. In order to downscale its activities and better adapt them to the local context, the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN)is structured in regional and national soil laboratory networks. National Soil Laboratory Networks are established by grouping together soil laboratories operating in the same country, under the leadership of the National Reference Laboratory.
