The GSP raises awareness of the vital role of soils by engaging policymakers, practitioners, scientists, and citizens. Each year, FAO, through its GSP, coordinates the global observance of
World Soil Day (5 December), mobilizing thousands of organizations and individuals through campaigns, educational resources, contests and multilingual outreach materials. Through technical symposia, publications, newsletter and communication campaigns, the GSP promotes science-based dialogue and helps keep soils high on international agendas by illuminating their fundamental role in food security, climate action, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience.
