Hello Visitor, Happy World Soil Day 2017! December 5th is World Soil Day, a celebration that is held annually as a means of focusing attention on the importance of healthy soil and advocating the sustainable management of soil resources. The Global Soil Partnership has given World Soil Day 2017 the theme “Caring for the planet starts from the ground”. This theme goes more or less hand in hand with the iSQAPER project initiative to enhance Soil Quality across Europe and China. Take a look at the wide variety of ways in which World Soil Day is being celebrated on Twitter. iSQAPER NewsTo coincide with World Soil Day, the iSQAPER team at IEEP have launched Joining the dots - soil health, agriculture and climate a briefing paper on agricultural policy in the EU, its role in soil protection and linking soil to land use related climate goals.
