Presentación de un mapa mundial de suelos negros y nuevas metas clave para 2030

Roma - Representantes de más de 500 asociados, incluidos los Miembros de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO), se reúnen esta semana para celebrar la 10.ª Asamblea Plenaria de la Alianza mundial sobre los suelos (AMS), que, desde su creación hace un decenio, ha trabajado para crear una mayor conciencia mundial y local sobre la importancia de la gestión sostenible del suelo y para guiar las políticas destinadas a abordar problemas tales como la erosión, la salinización y la contaminación o cuestiones como la conservación de la biodiversidad, la fijación de carbono y los desequilibrios de nutrientes.

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.
