When Sumith Bandara and Nisansala Lakmali decided to start home gardening, they had visions of lump vegetables, juicy fruits and aromatic herbs nestled in a lush garden. On an abandoned plot of land adjacent to their home, the couple started the project with only a little bit space and a sprinkling of knowledge, but their visions took seed. Making their dream a reality, though, was not that simple.

A heartfelt thanks to all participants of the Soil Biodiversity contest.

In the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Biodiversity (GSOBI21), FAO, and its Global Soil Partnership (GSP) launched a photo and video contest on soil biodiversity. 

Unfortunately, due to the world pandemic, GSOBI21 has been postponed to 19 - 22 April 2021. In light of the Symposium, the soil biodiversity photo and video contest helped push the soil biodiversity agenda further to the public.  

FAO's Global Soil Partnership had the pleasure to Launch the Global Soil Doctors Programme through an online webinar on Monday, 5 October 2020.
