"Soils are in the hands of future generations" - Laura Bertha Reyes Sanchez, IUSS President
In the framework of the World Soil Day 2021 campaign "Halt soil salinization, boost soil productivity". FAO, IUSS and GSP launched two contests: A scientific booklet contest for children and a kids2kids poster drawing contest, both on soil salinization. These initiatives aimed to promote scientific knowledge, raise awareness of the urgency of protecting soil; and stimulate educational activities, engagement and participation of youngsters on soils.
