Healthy and productive soils are the very foundation of our global food production. Without them, nothing can grow. Yet, between 2015 and 2019, the world has been losing at least 100 million hectares of healthy and productive land every year, due to agricultural overuse, deforestation, sealing or climate change. In this month’s episode we’re asking: How does the quality of soil affect global food production? How can we keep them healthy and nutritious? And: How can we prevent further losses?
