About Global Soil Biodiversity Symposium

Regrettably, the Global Symposium on Soil Biodiversity will be postponed to the tentative dates of 2 - 4 February 2021 at FAO headquarters, Rome (pending approval by FAO management and GSOBI Organizing Committee). We sincerely apologize for this new postponement, but the widespread of COVID-19 worldwide is hampering the capacity of all, including FAO, to organize large meetings.
