Estimados todos los interesados en la protección y el cuidado de los
suelos de nuestro planeta,
Hoy es el Día mundial del Suelo. Aprovecho a citar a un experto de
la Alianza Mundial del Suelo, Miguel Taboada, que nos hizo un resumen
del origen de este día.
"Un breve historial de esta celebración parte del año 2002, en que por
una Resolución de la Unión Internacional de Ciencias del Suelo (IUSS)se
establece “5 de diciembre el Día Mundial del Suelo”, para celebrar la
importancia del suelo como un componente crítico del sistema natural y
como un contribuyente vital al bienestar humano. Posteriormente, en 2012
y bajo el liderazgo del Reino de Tailandia, la FAO ha apoyado a través
de la Alianza Mundial por el Suelo el establecimiento formal del Día
Mundial del Suelo como plataforma mundial de sensibilización. La
Conferencia de la FAO de junio de 2013, aprobó unánimemente el Día
Mundial del Suelo y solicitó su aprobación oficial en la 68ª Asamblea
General de la ONU. En diciembre de 2013, la 68ª Asamblea General de la
ONU declaró el 5 de diciembre como el Día Mundial del Suelo".
También les paso un mensaje especial del Secretario General de
la naciones Unidas, por el Día Mundial del Suelo.
Creo que los científicos debemos sumarnos a la iniciativa de la FAO-ONU,
la Alianza Mundial del Suelo, colaborando en cumplir con los objetivos
de los 5 pilares de acción:
1- Promoción del manejo sostenible del recurso suelo para su protección,
conservación y productividad sostenible;
2- Fomento de la inversión, cooperación técnica, políticas,
concientización, educación, capacitación y extensión sobre los suelos;
3- Promoción de la investigación y el desarrollo edafológico focalizado
y centrado en las brechas y prioridades que se hayan identificado y las
sinergias con acciones relacionadas con la producción, desarrollo
ambiental y social;
4- Mejora de la cantidad y la calidad de los datos e información
edafológica: recolección de datos (generación), análisis, validación,
presentación de informes, monitoreo y su integración con otras disciplinas;
5- Armonización de los métodos, medidas e indicadores para el manejo
sostenible y la protección del recurso suelo.
FELIZ DÍA MUNDIAL DEL SUELO

/"On *World Soil Day*, I call for greater attention to the pressing
issues affecting soils, including climate change, antimicrobial
resistance, soil-borne diseases, contamination, nutrition and human
health" /
/* UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon*/
*Celebrating Soils *
** <http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJr3Pk9solNDfvlFrhM5RP>*Today is World
Soil Day*, a special day to spread awareness on how important healthy
soils are for a healthy life. This year, World Soil Day 2016 (WSD2016)
relevantly combines the *International Year of Soils 2015* and the
*International Year of Pulses 2016* with the theme “/Soil & Pulses,
symbiosis for life/”. Under this theme, WSD 2016 highlights the
multifaceted benefits of pulses not only for human health and nutrition,
but also for their contribution to soil health and sustainable
agriculture through the symbiotic relationship between soils and pulses.
WSD2016 celebrations officially *kicked off at the UN Headquarters in
New York on the 2nd December with an event entitled “Soils and pulses, a
symbiosis for life and for halting soil degradation”*. *This event
<http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJv9iSVlzCFVqYpQ5BZoqL>*, co-organized by
the Permanent Missions of Lesotho, Thailand and Turkey, in collaboration
with FAO and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification
(UNCCD), was also a special occasion to pay tribute to /His Majesty the
late King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand/ in recognition of his lifelong
work on soils and sustainable soil management. His Majesty’s Birthday, 5
December, has been designated World Soil Day since 2014 by the UN
General Assembly.
Today, a *special celebration
<http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJxc2Fjiag74wHWVpM62Ie>* is taking place
at FAO headquarters in Rome, followed by a soil and agriculture
development exhibition offered by the Permanent Representation of the
Kingdom of Thailand. Also, a celebration is taking place at CBD COP13 in
Cancun, Mexico. Join the Rome event *by webcast

This year, more than 120 events celebrating soils have been registered
on *our interactive map
<http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJFmZMR4wNRETE5gIqwDQ6>*, while the *WSD
fun campaign material*
<http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJHpJzf17riNZnCm2ADi7z> - infographics,
banners, videos, posters and printable logos for T-shirts - was
downloaded and used by thousands of people participating in public
events. The range of events organized includes concerts, picnics, sport
events, debates, WSD cakes, high level workshops and seminars, farmers
gatherings, tree plantings in primary schools, lectures to students,
science nights activities in high schools and many more.... the GSP
Secretariat warmly encourages you to join hands together to fight for
healthy soils and awareness over people.
With deep gratitude to the many who agreed to *share their
successes with us <mailto:gsp-secretariat en fao.org>*, the photos of your
events will be soon uploaded on our growing flickr photo gallery... and
we call for the collaboration of all our partners to share pictures and

*Book launch: Soil and Pulses, Symbiosis for Life*
** <http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJLvd80UiIb6aQGwGUQAGv>In celebration
of the synergy between IYS 2015 and IYP 2016, a new book titled Soils &
Pulses: symbiosis for life was launched today, WSD2016, at FAO
Headquarter. This *114-page publication* illustrates the various ways in
which the “*strategic alliance*” between soils and pulses contributes to
forging more sustainable food and agriculture systems, presenting
decision makers and practitioners with scientific facts and technical
recommendations for managing the symbiosis between soils and pulses. It
ultimately explores how *sustainable practices *can be implemented in
support of the effort to*end hunger and malnutrition, adapt to climate
change, halt soil degradation and achieve overall sustainable
development *in view of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. A
short video illustrating the symbiosis between Soils and Pulses has been
prepared and is available *here
<http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJNxWUoQTlCfgAdC14XeXY>*.

*December 5: the first Glinka World Soil Prize*
** <http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJTGafyGFfVGxMORZzhbOn>Capitalizing on
the awareness raising momentum created by the IYS 2015, the first ever
/Glinka World Soil Prize/ was*awarded today to the Colombian Instituto
Geografico Agustin Codazzi (IGAC)* in recognition of its leadership and
activities contributing to the promotion of sustainable soil management.
As illustrated by this *video
<http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJVIU1WDfTmPDwlXjJnQ5Q>*, IGAC coordinates
the Colombian Spatial Data Infrastructure, trains professionals from
across the globe in various soil topics, and is rapidly modernizing
geospatial technologies in Latin America. In few years IGAC unveiled a
study that sheds light on Colombian soils, their morphology and complex
economic and social context. Overall, the Institute is compiling
information that will change the way that governments and businesses
work in relation to soil management in the decades ahead. The current
Sponsor of the *Glinka World Soil Prize
<http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJXLDOkzQwNYJfT2DTuunj>* is the Russian
Federation

*Endorsement of the Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management
by the FAO Council*
** <http://fao.msgfocus.com/c/11gqJZOnAIwraf7OZq7Y3B8EM>In keeping with
the celebration of efforts contributing to sustainable soil management,
we are pleased to inform you about today's endorsement of the *Voluntary
Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management* by the 155th session of the
FAO Council. These guidelines developed through a comprehensive and
inclusive process within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership
will further pave the way towards supporting governments and
institutions in mainstreaming sustainable development and implementing
the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Our acknowledgements go to
all our partners who played an active role on this challenging endeavor.
Similarly, the FAO Council endorsed the establishment of the Global Soil
