GSS6 - Soil Security and Health Advances 
6th Global Soil Security Symposium

                  15 -18 June, 2027
  Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the Sixth Global Soil Security Symposium (GSS6), focused on the theme of Soil Security and Health Advances. We are delighted to bring together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, educators, and landholders from across disciplines and regions across the world to engage in dialogue on one of the most fundamental resources underpinning food systems, ecosystems, and human wellbeing.

Soil security and soil health sit at the intersection of science, practice, and policy. This symposium has been designed to reflect that integration - bringing together advances in measurement and monitoring, insights from agricultural and natural systems, perspectives from landholders, and emerging approaches in education, governance, and law. Across three days, the program deliberately weaves these themes together, encouraging exchange across traditional boundaries and fostering conversations that extend beyond individual disciplines. 

GSS6 continues the Global Soil Security Symposium series by emphasising both scientific rigour and real-world relevance. We are especially pleased to feature keynote speakers who will challenge and inspire us, contributed talks that showcase cutting-edge research and practice, and poster sessions that create space for discussion, reflection, and collaboration. 

We hope this symposium provides not only a forum for sharing knowledge, but also an opportunity to build connections, generate new ideas, and strengthen our collective commitment to securing soil for present and future generations. 

We warmly welcome you and wish you a stimulating and enjoyable symposium.
