Key Highlights from the FAO International Soil & Water Forum 2024: A Milestone in Sustainable Soil and Water Management
On December 10, 2024, the FAO International Soil & Water Forum 2024 was held at the Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, gathering experts and leaders from around the world to discuss sustainable approaches to soil and water management.
Key Topic:
"Soil Microbial Innovations for Crop Residue Management and Soil Fertility"
Speaker: Dr. Wichian Yongmanitchai,
Board Member and Head of Research and Product Development, Siam Agri Supply Co., Ltd. (SAS)
Key Takeaways from the Presentation:
Microorganisms: The Vital Engine of Soil Systems
Microorganisms play a crucial role in driving biogeochemical cycles, such as decomposing crop residues and enhancing soil fertility, significantly contributing to the restoration of agricultural land.
Microbial Solutions: Sustainable Pathways
Practical solutions to address soil degradation were introduced, such as the "No Burn" Project, which reduces the practice of rice straw burning by using microbial technology. This approach not only curbs greenhouse gas emissions but also rejuvenates soil quality.
Pathways to Widespread Adoption
While microorganisms hold immense potential, their broader implementation requires collaboration across sectors, including educating farmers and garnering government support.
The event received an overwhelmingly positive response, providing participants with an invaluable platform to exchange key ideas and advance sustainable innovations in soil and water management.
