The International Symposium on Soil Organic Matter (SOM 2026) is the largest and most important international conference on soil organic matter and traditionally brings together hundreds of students, researchers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and the agricultural sector around the world. The SOM has established itself as a biannual technical-scientific event where topics are presented at the frontier of innovative technologies and sustainable practices to face challenges related to the influence of soil organic matter on soil fertility and health, carbon sequestration and ecosystem sustainability, as well as important issues for the market and public policies are discussed. The event not only promotes dialogue among global experts, but also serves as a privileged stage for the dissemination of research and development activities from academia and industry.
By presenting innovative studies and applications, SOM promotes the advancement of knowledge and its practical implementation in areas related to soil organic matter, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices and ecosystem management around the world. In 2026, the SOM Conference will celebrate its 10th edition in São Paulo, in its first edition in South America. The event will be organized by the Center for Carbon Research in Tropical Agriculture of the University of São Paulo (CCARBON/USP), a Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center (RIDC) supported by USP, the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the private sector. This landmark event is held in collaboration with the Brazilian Society of Soil Science (SBCS), reinforcing its importance as a hub for the advancement of research and innovation in soil organic matter on a global scale.
