Healthy soils are essential for life – not only ours, but all life on Earth.
Soils are so much more than just dirt. Healthy soils provide the basis for healthy ecosystems, help store carbon and water, support biodiversity, and are critical for producing the food we eat. However, soils are often taken for granted and face threats from unsustainable land management practices such as tillage, overgrazing, urbanization, deforestation, and climate change.
