Lancement de la carte mondiale des sols noirs et nouveaux objectifs clés pour 2030

Rome – Les représentants de plus de 500 partenaires, dont les Membres de l’Organisation des Nations unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO), se réunissent cette semaine à l’occasion de la dixième assemblée plénière du Partenariat mondial sur les sols, qui, depuis sa création il y a dix ans, œuvre en faveur d’une sensibilisation mondiale et locale quant à l’importance que revêt la gestion durable des sols et oriente les politiques dans la recherche de solutions à des problèmes tels que l’érosion, la salinisation, la pollution ou la conservation de la biodiversité, le piégeage du carbone et les déséquilibres des éléments nutritifs.

The Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) was established in 2017 to build and strengthen the capacity of laboratories in soil analysis and to respond to the need for harmonizing soil analytical data. Harmonization of methods, units, data and information is critical to (1) provide reliable and comparable information between countries and projects; (2) allow the generation of new harmonized soil data sets; and (3) support evidence-based decision making for sustainable soil management. In order to downscale its activities and better adapt them to the local context, the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN)is structured in regional and national soil laboratory networks. National Soil Laboratory Networks are established by grouping together soil laboratories operating in the same country, under the leadership of the National Reference Laboratory. 

The Global Symposium on Salt-Affected Soils (GSAS21) – “Halt soil salinization, boost soil productivity” addressed one of the most acute soil threats worldwide, soil salinization and sodification, which challenges the sustainable development of countries with arid and semiarid climates and extensive coastal areas.
