In the framework of World Soil Day 2022, children and teens, from ages 5 to 14, living all around the world, were called to use their imagination and create posters that illustrate how soils are crucial for food production, better nutrition and healthy diets. 

The first phase of the Global Soil Doctors programme has successfully been implemented in Burkina Faso. This was made possible thanks to the close collaboration and pivotal role of the national promoter, BUNASOLS (Bureau National des Sols). Twenty technicians from BUNASOLS and from the extension service of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Resources and Fisheries completed the online training of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership (GSP) for becoming national trainers of the Global Soil Doctors programme. The training lasted three half-days and focused on the key role played by soils for human nutrition and food security. A series of posters and field exercises were developed to cover these topics.
