Highlighting the importance of soil

Soil’s role in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals 

95% of the food we eat comes from soil and it needs to feed 7 billion people.

To support the Society’s aim of highlighting the importance of soil in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, our four new videos have been released in conjunction with the World Congress of Soil Science 2022.

The one-minute long videos, Life on Land (SDG 15), Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) and Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), are aimed at non-scientists. The awareness-raising videos provide an overview of the importance of soil, based on the evidence-base.
