"We have to ensure that we care and nurture all soils it to keep both the human population and the planet healthy"
By Ken Loades, Roy Neilson, Tracy Valentine and Nikki Baggaley
COP26 highlighted more than ever that we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and become more sustainable before it’s too late. Soil is a key component in this battle and something that we expect to provide food, feed and fibre, store and supply water, store carbon, archive geological and archaeological heritage to name but a few. World Soils Day on 5th December celebrates all that soils do for us.
