Since its first years World Soil Day (WSD) - 5 December acted as a global celebration consisting of activities such as photography exhibitions, film festivals, lectures, panel discussions, puppet shows, food bazaars, tree planting, fashion shows, concerts, sports competitions, quizzes, drawing contests, seminars, workshops, speeches, public awareness campaigns and poetry recitals.These events involved not only FAO offices and GSP partners, but also international and national NGOs, politicians, international celebrities, musicians and local dignitaries, as well as farmers and soil practitioners themselves.

From the time of the World Soil Day 2018, we gather data and key results of the campaign, analyzing our outreach and publishing a comprehensive report: The 2018 ‘Be the solution to soil pollution’, 2019 ‘Stop soil erosion, Save our future’, and last year's World Soil Day ‘Keep soil alive, Protect soil biodiversity’.
