In 2017, the Global Soil Partnership established the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) harmonize soil laboratory methods and data, and for building the capacity of laboratories in soil analysis. This effort will (1) make soil information across laboratories, countries and regions comparable, interpretable, (2) build a set of agreed harmonization principles, (3) improve quality assurance and control of soil analysis, and (4) promote information and experience exchange.

The entries for the Glinka World Soil Prize are officially open. The nomination is available to all—individuals or organizations.

If you have organized an outstanding WSD event for the 2019 campaign ‘Stop soil erosion, Save our future’, don’t miss the chance to win the King Bhumibol World Soil Day Award, edition 2020.  The Global Soil Partnership (GSP) is pleased to invite all participants to last year campaign to apply: individuals, institutions, NGOs, academia, universities & colleges, private companies, or other entities.

The Global Soil Partnership is currently developing a new tool, SoiLEX, a global database on national legislation on soil protection, conservation and restoration to facilitate access to information on the existing legal instruments in force and bridge the gap between the various soil stakeholders. The online platform will facilitate the search for national soil legal instruments, the understanding of the different legal areas relevant to soil management and protection, as well as the exchange of experiences in soil governance between countries and regions.
