Soil week 2025 in Sicily

This year’s #WorldSoilDay theme is “Healthy Soils for Healthy Cities”, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
The celebration will focus on urban soils, the challenges posed by urbanization such as soil sealing, and how healthy soils can lead to more resilient cities through practices like urban agriculture, composting, and sustainable urban planning.

For the third year, Soil Week in Sicily will be dedicated to the scientist Bernardino Romano, who passed away on September 1, 2023.
A full professor of Territorial Planning and Urban Planning Techniques in the Department of Civil, Construction-Architecture and Environmental Engineering at the University of L’Aquila, and a member of the WWF scientific community, Romano in recent years had focused his research on land consumption and urban sprawl.
