Every year December 5 is celebrated as World Soil Day to bring people's focus and attention on the importance of healthy soil as well as stress on the importance of sustainable management of soil resources.

As a result, in December 2013, the UN General Assembly responded by designating December 5, 2014, as the first official World Soil Day.
