About 95% of what we eat comes from soil. It sounds quite obvious but we too often neglect the relation that exists between food and farmland. There has been a deep separation in recent decades between food and the environments in which it is produced. To reiterate that food begins with soil and that its management plays a key role in food security, the overarching theme of the World Soil Day 2022, held on December 5, is: ‘Soils, Where Food Begins’.

On this very special day, SOILdarity has announced an upcoming project event dedicated to raise awareness on the relation between soil health and the transition to sustainable food production systems.

The workshop A living lab for a just transition to a sustainable food production system based on soil health and ecosystem services will take place on 17th January 2023 in Brussels in a hybrid format.
