Degraded soil health threatens future food production sustainability.
Healthy soils are crucial for sustainable food production. They play a vital role in providing nutrients to plants, animals, and humans, regulating gases, sequestering carbon, and recycling waste. Soil health and soil life are closely linked to farming practices. Excessive use of chemicals and conventional farming methods can harm soil health and life. Intensive farming can also degrade soil, making it less able to support future food production. It is essential to maintain soil health and life to ensure sustainable food production for generations to come.
