World Soil Day 2025 emphasizes the urgent need to restore and protect soil health as urban areas expand and environmental threats increase. The observance highlights the critical role of soil in supporting ecosystems, agriculture, and human well-being.
About World Soil Day
World Soil Day (WSD) is observed annually on 5 December to raise awareness about the importance of healthy soils and to promote the sustainable management of soil resources.
History of World Soil Day
The concept of dedicating a day to soil conservation was first proposed in 2002 by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) to create global awareness about soil health.
With the support of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and guidance from the Kingdom of Thailand, the initiative gained momentum.
In 2013, the United Nations General Assembly officially declared 5 December as World Soil Day, and the first celebration was held in 2014.
Theme of WSD 2025
The theme for World Soil Day 2025 is “Healthy Soils for Healthy Cities”.
This theme shifts attention from rural farmlands to the often-overlooked soil in urban landscapes.
It emphasizes the need for urban soil conservation, sustainable city planning, and maintaining soil biodiversity to support healthy urban ecosystems.
