The theme for the World Soil Day<\/a> celebration this year is “<\/span>Healthy soils for healthy cities”, focusing on the role of soils in cities and the challenges posed by soil sealing and urbanization. With two-thirds of the world\u2019s population expected to live in cities by 2050, soils are the foundations of sustainable and resilient cities.<\/p>\n
