5. December - World Soil Day

05.12.2023

World Soil Day is held annually on 5 December since 2014. Each year, a focus theme draws attention to soil health and conservation. This year's theme is "Water and Soil" - together, they build the foundation of most plant life and therefore our life. 

In a short video, our colleague Belehem Muluneh explains why soil is of vital importance to us and how ETH-Soil helps to enhance soil health in Ethiopia.
