Hello Colleagues,
On behalf of Soil4Climate, I would like to wish you all a Happy World Soil Day.
A brief history of World Soil Day is given by Google AI, here:
"World Soil Day's history began with a 2002 proposal by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) for a day celebrating soil, championed by Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej, leading to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) endorsing it in 2013, and the UN General Assembly officially declaring December 5th as World Soil Day in 2014, marking the first celebration and fostering global awareness for healthy soil and sustainable management."
Of relevance to World Soil Day themes, please see the Soil4Climate annotated compendium of peer-reviewed science on the soil and climate benefits of well managed grazing,
Hope Below Our Feet. Also, please see the announcement for upcoming test screenings of the new Documentary,
World Without Cows. This movie explores the cultural, economic, and environmental impact of cows and asks the question, "What would the world be like without them?" Obviously, soil and soil health are major factors. These screenings are intended to gather audience feedback and are
not meant as endorsements of the film. My personal assessment is that the filmmakers are trying to be fair and that regardless of where you stand on matter, there is plenty within to both applaud and take issue with,
Your viewing and feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
- Seth
