The United Nations will celebrate the International Year of Soils next 5 December 2015. Soil, a precious resource on which depends our survival, is a fragile resource, threatened by natural and human pressures that are degrading, often irreversibly, its irreplaceable productive, environmental and socio-cultural functions.
A real "soil consumption" that involves, according to ISPRA report , an irreversible loss of 6.7 square meters per second in Italy due to its deep alteration and the artificial covering with cement or asphalt (data from Soil Consumption in Italy - edition 2015)
