The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) on Wednesday, marked the 2018 World Soil day with call for urgent action to
reduce release of pollutants into soils, reports NaijaAgroNet.
FAO, NaijaAgroNet recalls, every 5 December 2018 in Rome commemorate the World Soil Day, saying that urgent action is needed to address
soil pollution and contain the multiple threats it poses to global food safety
and food security.
"About 33 percent of all soils are degraded - and soils
continue to deteriorate at an alarming rate," said Deputy Director-General
Maria Helena Semedo at the World Soil Day Ceremony at FAO's Rome headquarters.
"Soil acts as a filter for contaminants. But when its buffering capacity
is exceeded, contaminants can enter the environment and the food chain. This
undermines food security by making crops risky and unsafe for
consumption".
"Human activities are the main source of soil
pollution. It is in our hands to adopt sustainable soil management
practices," she added.
She called "for greater political support and
significantly increased investment towards healthy soils". Maintaining
healthy soils helps ensure safe and nutritious foods and is essential for
achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and Zero Hunger.

The beauty of youth is in its wasteful abundance: we make mistakes, lose jobs, break off with lovers, neglect friendships, forget birthdays when we are young. We know we are never far away from a second chance,life bursts with such a pressing immediacy, such an overwhelming vehemence that everything else must wait till we sort out life.
