Happy World Soil Day!

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.

What’s the best action you can take to give back to our soil? You guessed it: compost in your backyard.
