An international day to celebrate soils was recommended by the International Soil Science Union in 2002.
In December 2013, the United Nations General Assembly had announced to celebrate this day.

Soil is made up of minerals, organic matter and air in various proportions.
It is important for life because it provides the medium for the growth of a plant, and habitat for many insects and other organisms.
