World Soil Day 2020

Soil4Life - the essential is invisible to the eyes
World Soil Day is celebrated on 5 December, an anniversary that focuses on the important role of sustainable soil management and its state of health.
According to ISPRA data, in only seven years in Italy the degraded soil increased  by more than 70 sq km and land consumption growth at a rate of 2 sq m per second. In order to spread more awareness, ISPRA, within the Soil4life project, has produced a video to understand the importance of this fundamental resource, named "Soil matters!".
