Soil Health and Management is contribution to
The Sustainable Development Goals:

Goal 2: Zero Hunger
Promoting soil health and sustainable soil management contributes to SDG 2 by ensuring healthy soils that support increased agricultural productivity and food security.
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production:
The session aligns with SDG 12 by advocating for responsible land use practices, reduced soil degradation, and sustainable soil management approaches.
Goal 13: Climate Action:
Sustainable soil management, including practices for carbon sequestration and mitigating soil degradation, aligns with SDG 13 by addressing climate change impacts and contributing to climate resilience.
Goal 15: Life on Land:
The session directly aligns with SDG 15 by promoting sustainable land management practices, preventing soil degradation, and fostering biodiversity conservation in soil ecosystems.
Goal 1: No Poverty:
Improving soil health and adopting sustainable soil management practices can contribute to poverty reduction by enhancing agricultural productivity and income, aligning with SDG 1.
Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation:
Sustainable soil management helps prevent soil erosion and runoff, contributing to cleaner water systems and aligning with SDG 6.
Goal 14: Life Below Water:
Healthy soil management practices indirectly contribute to preventing soil runoff into water bodies, aligning with SDG 14 by reducing the impact on marine ecosystems.
Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals:
Collaboration and partnerships are essential for the successful implementation of sustainable soil management practices, aligning with the spirit of SDG 17.
