🌿 On World Soil Day, this is a gentle reminder that soil is not only essential for our food ecosystems and our health, it’s an unsung hero in our efforts to protect our liveable climate.
Storing more carbon than the atmosphere, and all of the world's plants and forests combined. It is truly one of the most valuable natural resources and we need to protect it and restore it, as worryingly over 40% of the world’s soil is degraded.
Put simply we need to keep our soil healthy to ensure our crops, our health and our climate stay healthy.
Let’s push our leaders to legally safeguard our soil through our agricultural practices, and standards of imported food and agricultural products. Eating more plant-based food is also massively impactful 🌱
