Of course we are the type of people who celebrate a day
dedicated to soil. Here’s why:
- Soil holds three times as much carbon as the atmosphere and can help us meet the challenges of a changing climate.
- 815 million people are food insecure and 2 billion people are nutritionally insecure, but we can mitigate this through soil.
- 95% of our food comes from soil.
- 33% of our global soils are already degraded.
Facts from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
What’s the best action you can take to give back to our
soil? You guessed it: compost in your backyard.
