Within the IUSS a number of working groups are actively working on different soil tasks.
For the International Year of Soils the IUSS and the working groups have decided to enforce the raising of soil awareness.
Each month one working group will present its current work on this site, providing information on that specific soil topic.

They will also provide the soil message which intends to present important key messages on soil to inform the public. This message will be also available on the main page of this website

Information will be about

• WHO – Presentation of the responsible IUSS Working Group (500 characters max)
• WHAT – Description of activity, idea, topic or event (max 1,500 characters)
• WHEN & WHERE – When and where will the activity or event take place, when & where should the idea be implemented (max 300 characters)
• SOIL MESSAGE – During the IYS a soil message will be presented.
