The Department of Agriculture through the Bureau of Soils and Water Management (DA-BSWM) joins the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in the annual celebration of the World Soil Day on December 5, 2022.
This year’s theme, “Soils, where food begins” aims to raise awareness on the importance of maintaining healthy ecosystems and human well-being by addressing the growing challenges in soil management, increasing soil awareness and encouraging societies to improve soil health.
The campaign seeks to promote healthy soil and advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources. ### (photos by Alan Jay Jacalan, DA-AFID)
