Global Symposium on Soils and Water
02 – 05 October 2023
Hybrid event
Soil and water are inseparable allies, acting as the fundamental cornerstones for sustaining life on our planet. They are the lifeblood of our planet, supporting food production, the diversity of ecosystems, and contributing to human well-being. Meeting our food and water requirements would be an insurmountable challenge without the presence of healthy soil and clean water.
We are thrilled to announce the forthcoming Global Symposium on Soil and Water (GSOWA23) to be held from 2 to 5 October 2023. This event will be held in a hybrid format at FAO headquarters, blending both in-person and virtual participation. Additionally, World Soil Day 2023 will adopt the theme “Soil and Water: a source of life”.
Given the importance of the integrated management of soils and water, the Symposium will coincide with and benefit from the Water Rome Dialogue 2023 (4-5 October). This will enable technical exchange among participants of the two events with the reporting and closing plenary session jointly organized to provide an opportunity for cross-fertilization and exchange on the technical discussions and outcomes from both events.
The symposium will be organized along four themes:
