Soil sustains life. And, healthy soil is the foundation of the world’s food system.
Healthy soils produce healthy crops and pastures, that in turn provide nutrition and daily sustenance for people everywhere.
Maintaining healthy soils however demands understanding, knowledge, care and effort from farmers and growers everywhere, because farming and agriculture, of itself, is neither an exact nor benign practice. Our soils are not endlessly accommodating, benevolent, generous, good-natured and giving – they are a living, dynamic ecosystem that requires understanding and management if they are to survive and keep
performing well.
