The Global Symposium on Soils for Nutrition “Soils, where food begins”, was held on 26-29 July 2022. We would like to share with you some of the successes and highlights of the event and, most importantly, what will happen in the next future on the topic of soils for nutrition and fertility.

HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY FIGURES

Over 9 500 registered participants and more than 5 000 participants connected from 180 countries, including UN agencies, government representatives, scientists, private sector, practitioners, NGOs, civil society organizations, local communities, and land users.
28 renowned speakers, focused on how policy and scientific evidence can be translated into concrete actions to reduce soil fertility loss towards nutrition and food security and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
96 dedicated articles in the international press reaching 20 million people around the world.
69 scientific posters displayed, totalizing almost 120 000 unique votes in 4 days.
Over 200 photos received for the photo contest and + 1 000 likes & shares.
An interactive quiz on soils for nutrition.
More than 8 hours of plenary sessions and 20 hours of presentations/interactive discussion held in five parallel sessions over the 4 main themes of the Symposium.

PUBLICATION LAUNCH: ‘SOILS FOR NUTRITION: THE STATE OF THE ART’

Launched on Day 1 of the GSOIL4N, this publication reviews the role of soil fertility in producing sufficient, safe, and more nourishing food for healthier plants, animals, and people. It shows the way forward to solving the nutrient imbalance that is prevalent in our soils and affecting agri-food systems around the world.

WHAT IS NEXT? THE WAY FORWARD

Of course, fighting against nutrient balance loss does not end here! GSOIL4N marks the beginning of a concrete plan of action to address this global threat: science must be brought into action through policy if we want to see significant impact.

Outcomes of the Symposium:

  • ‘Soils, where food begins” – this Outcome document will present an agenda for action.
  • Working towards the implementation of available normative tools, including the International Code of Conduct for the Sustainable Use and Management of Fertilizers.
  • Establishment of an “International Network on Soil Fertility and Fertilizers (INSOFF)”.

The proceedings of the Symposium will compile all scientific abstracts presented both orally and in poster format during the Symposium into a single publication. The proceedings will be published in the coming weeks on the symposium webpage.
