Pacific Soils Partnership

The Pacific Soils Partnership Network (PSP) was formed by 12 Pacific Island Countries and universities, research institutions, SPC and FAO to collaboratively advance the sustainable soil management agenda in the Pacific through research, standard setting, education and awareness, and information and knowledge sharing on soils. 

The PSP has adopted a set of strategic priorities aligned to the Global Soil Partnership Framework, shown below.

  1. Promote sustainable management of soil resources for soil protection, conservation and sustainable productivity.
  2. Encourage soil investment, technical cooperation, policy, education, awareness and extension.
  3. Promote targeted soil research and development focusing on identified gaps and priorities and synergies with related productive, environmental and social development actions.
  4. Enhance the quantity and quality of soil data and information: data collection generation, analysis, validation, reporting, monitoring and integration with other disciplines.
  5. Harmonization of methods, measurements and indicators for the sustainable management and protection of soil resources
