From June 7 to 12, the 23rd World Congress of Soil Science (WCSS 2026) was successfully held at the Nanjing International Expo Center in Jiangsu Province. Co-hosted by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) and the Chinese Soil Science Society, and organized by the Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the congress attracted nearly 3,000 soil science experts, researchers, and industry professionals from over 100 countries and regions for in-depth discussions, exchanges, and collaborations.
As the most influential academic event in the global soil science field, the World Congress of Soil Science is held every four years and has a history spanning nearly a century. Themed "Soil and the Community of Shared Future for Mankind," this year's congress focused on cutting-edge topics such as soil carbon neutrality, climate change mitigation, artificial intelligence applications, and smart agriculture. The event featured 9 panel discussions, over 130 parallel forums, 5 interactive workshops, an entrepreneurs' forum, and the World Soil Science and Equipment Expo. It comprehensively showcased the latest global advancements in soil science and built a platform for in-depth communication among global soil science professionals.
As a technical service provider in the field of ecological and environmental monitoring, LICA attended the grand event with its advanced practical achievements and application solutions. At Booth C13 of the World Soil Science and Equipment Expo, the company showcased its core independently developed products, including the Portable Soil Carbon Flux Measurement System, the Multi-Channel Soil Gas Flux Measurement System, and the Fully Automatic Vacuum Condensation Extraction System, attracting numerous experts and scholars. LICA's technical team provided detailed explanations of the technical principles and performance advantages of the equipment tailored to different application scenarios and monitoring needs, and engaged in enthusiastic discussions with experts regarding practical cases such as long-term fixed monitoring and field operations in complex environments.
Soil is the foundation of all life, and safeguarding soil health is essential to sustaining human development. Marking the first time the World Congress of Soil Science has been held in China in nearly a century of history, this congress comprehensively showcased China's technological experiences and practical achievements in soil governance. It also represents a strong affirmation by the international academic community of China's soil science research capabilities and its open, cooperative stance. Through this congress, the global soil science community has consolidated a consensus under the vision of a "Community of Shared Future for Mankind."
The 23rd World Congress of Soil Science provided LICA with a valuable opportunity to study advanced global research achievements and technological concepts, accumulating cutting-edge experience for future product innovation and solution optimization. Moving forward, LICA will remain committed to independent R&D and innovation, continuously enhancing the intelligence and scenario adaptability of its products. The company aims to contribute to the high-quality development of China's soil science and offer LICA's strength toward the sustainable utilization and ecological protection of global soil resources.
