Get Soil Savvy!

Soils are natural resources. We can overuse them or misuse them, with drastic consequences.

Soils are renewable—but it takes lots of time, money, and know-how. Humans can’t easily imitate natural soil-forming processes, but we can take advantage of new and old techniques to prevent soil degradation and keep soils healthy.

Soil mismanagement can lead to eroding soil, excess nutrients, excess salt, desertified soil, sinking soil and nutrient loss.
