How Sustainable Soil Management can improve the nutritional quality of food

FAO’s Global Soil Partnership is promoting Sustainable Soil Management practices to improve the nutritional quality of locally-produced food to address micronutrient deficiencies in people. 

After the launch of the initiative on soil spectroscopy by the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) of the Global Soil Partnership in April 2020, GLOSOLAN organized its first plenary meeting on soil spectroscopy from 23 to 25 September 2020. The meeting was attended by 350 participants from 63 countries, including leading institutions and organizations in the field of soil spectroscopy. 

土壤生物多样性是人类日常生活中，多数人都不知道我们脚下的土壤中蕴含着丰富多样的植物、动物和微生物群落。土壤不仅仅是“泥土”，它还是全球生物多样性的重要宝库，支撑着农业发展和粮食安全，调节温室气体排放并促进植物、动物和人类健康。没有土壤，一切都将不同。

长久以来，我们将土壤视作理所当然的存在。现在，让我们行动起来，维持土壤活力，保护土壤生物多样性！生命的基础
