Global Symposium on Soil Information and Data

FAO and its Global Soil Partnership (GSP) are delighted to announce the Global Symposium on Soil Information & Data (GSID24), co-organized with the Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISSCAS). Scheduled from 25 to 28 September 2024 in the dynamic city of Nanjing (China), this symposium promises to be a landmark event. 

The symposium will serve as an international forum for global players – from policymakers to researchers, and practitioners – to engage in the crucial area of soil data and information. Faced with pressing challenges such as food insecurity, climate change, and unsustainable soil management, this symposium will highlight the need for comparable and reliable soil data and information.

Emphasising the significance of data-driven decision-making, GSID24 aims to catalyze the development and implementation of policies grounded in robust soil data, thereby enhancing the efficacy of global efforts towards sustainable development and climate resilience. Discover the objectives, themes, and much more on the official Symposium webpage: https://www.fao.org/global-soil-partnership/gsid24/en/
