Soil is more than just the ground beneath our feet; it’s a cornerstone of life on Earth. Home to over a quarter of the planet’s biodiversity, it serves as the largest natural water filter and one of the most vital carbon storage systems. Healthy soil forms the bedrock of thriving ecosystems and productive food systems, yet its importance is often overlooked.
