In the
Vienna Soil Declaration of Dec. 7, 2015, the The International Union of Soil Science
has identified the key roles played by soils in addressing the major
resource, environmental, health and social problems which humanity is facing. In the course of the conference
‘Celebration of International Year of Soils 2015’ the International Decade of Soils 2015-2024 was
proclaimed by Rainer Horn,
IUSS President. The International Decade of Soils shall be a continuation of the
efforts made during 2015. It will
be marked by a number of activities on the national and international
levels. Furthermore, a public outreach
campaign is envisaged to show the emotional and cultural relevance of
soils as well as forging partnerships with other international
organisations.
