X Congress of the Eurasian Federation of Soil Science

The Federation of Eurasian Soil Science Societies was established to share knowledge on the most dynamic part of earth-soils. As a finite resource, the soils of this region are under pressure from many human induced activities for many centuries. The primary goal of the Federation aim is to "bridge the gap" between soil science, policy making, and public knowledge both nationally and internationally in the region. Therefore, the Federation aims to develop strategies to form a fertile collaboration securing regions' soils from threads such as soil degradation; pollution; erosion; sealing, and many others.

The First International Soil Science Congress on “The Soul of Soil and Civilization” was held in Side Antalya Turkey by The Soil Science Society of Turkey (SSST) collaboration with The Federation of Eurasian Soil Science Societies (FESSS) in October 14 – 16, 2014.
