World Soil Day is held annually on 5th December to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and advocating for the sustainable management of soil and land resources.
In this regard, Land Resources Research Institute NARC with the collaboration of Soil Science Society of Pakistan celebrates the WSD on regular basis since 2015 and organizes a short walk with the collaboration of Soil Science Society of Pakistan in order to celebrate the day and create awareness among the stakeholders of PARC.
Dr Ghulam Muhammad Ali, Chairman PARC and other high officials of PARC-NARC participated in the walk.
The theme for World Soil Day 2021 is “Halt soil salinization, boost soil productivity”. Its motive is to raise awareness about maintaining healthy ecosystems and our well-being, by pointing out the dangers of soil salinity.
Motivating governments, organizations and secluded communities about keeping soil healthy is this year’s aim.
