Soils, Where Food Begins
World Soil Day | 5 December 2022

To commemorate World Soil Day 2022, Taylor & Francis has curated a collection of journal articles on Soil related topics.
World Soil Day (WSD) is held annually on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and advocating for the sustainable management of soil resources.
Soil nutrient loss is a major soil degradation process threatening nutrition and is recognized as being among the most important problems at a global level for food security and sustainability all around the globe. This year’s theme: Soils, Where Food Begins aims to raise awareness of the importance of maintaining healthy ecosystems and human well-being by addressing the growing challenges in soil management, increasing soil awareness and encouraging societies to improve soil health.
Every year, Taylor and Francis joins in the celebration by recognizing and sharing the works from our journals. Discover more of our curated resources below.
“We may not realize it but our existence and survival is impossible without soil.”
