December 5, 2014 is the launch of World Soil Day, a new campaign by the Food and Agriculture Organization, (FAO) a Rome-based United Nations agency. Soils have been neglected for too long. We fail to connect soil with our food, water, climate, biodiversity and life. We must challenge this tendency and take up some preserving and restoring actions for the resource that produces 95% of the world's food supply. The World Soil Day campaign aims to connect people with soils and raise awareness on their critical importance in our lives. This campaign is also the launch for 2015, the FAO International Year of Soils. Ms. Sally Bunning will join this segment, and is senior official for Land and Soils at the FAO, where she has worked since 1989. A geographer from the United Kingdom, she has a long professional focus on watershed and sustainable agro-ecosystem management. She was based for 10 years in Africa, working on an integrated natural resources project in Benin, on a soil and water managemen consultant in Ethiopia and teaching university students in Malawi. She is also an expert on desertification and on early-warning systems for land-use issues.
