World Soil Day Webinar | Keep soil alive, protect soil biodiversity

Join FAO North America ahead of World Soil Day to celebrate healthy soils for the future of food. This years' campaign "Keep soil alive, Protect soil biodiversity" urges us to focus our attention on the workers below ground - from tiny bacteria to agile millipedes and slimy earthworms - all of which contribute to processes that are indispensable to life on Earth. Biodiversity loss is a major threat to soil, which is home to more than a quarter of the Earth’s biodiversity. Yet, we only know 1% of this universe.

This timely webinar will feature a keynote lecture by Dr. Rattan Lal, 2020 World Food Prize Laureate, followed by an expert panel discussion on safeguarding soil biodiversity.
