To see a young soil scientist actively researching methods to make farming more sustainable and soil more resilient is very heartening.
I hope governments are taking notice and will adapt this to their agricultural policies.

Soils are an essential and non-renewable natural resource hosting goods and services vital to ecosystems and human life. Soils are fundamental for producing crops, feed, fibre, fuel, and they filter and clean tens of thousands of cubic kilometers of water each year. #SaveSoil
‘Healthy soil is the foundation of everything I do.’
Working with the land has been a lifelong relationship for Lydia Mantella - a medicinal herbalist, smallholder, and storyteller whose work sits at the intersection of soil, plants, and wellbeing. In this conversation on Save Soil News, we explore how Lydia’s lifelong involvement with soil - shaped by growing up on a smallholding and deepened through the practice of herbalism - has shaped her perspective on everything from wellbeing, to creativity, and sustainability. We delved into what it really means to work with plants rather than extract from them, and why reconnecting people to the land is such an important step toward caring for it.

A song. A dance. A message.
The students of Isha Home School put their own spin on Alok's Deep Down, using movement and creativity to express their commitment to a healthier future for our planet.
Small actions, shared widely, can inspire meaningful change.
#NowForClimate #ClimateAction #SaveSoil
World Environment Day was celebrated with music, movement, and a shared commitment to a healthier planet.
Dancing in celebration of the Earth that sustains us, volunteers expressed the spirit of collective action needed to protect it.
Because caring for the planet is not just a responsibility—it can also be a joyful expression of gratitude and involvement.

As the world focuses on solutions to the environmental challenges we face, it is important to recognize one of the fundamental foundations of life on Earth: soil.
The soil crisis is a silent emergency impacting nearly every aspect of life on earth. As land degradation accelerates, its effects are already being felt globally - lowered agricultural yields threaten food security, loss of soil structure leads to increased flooding and droughts, and the habitat loss for the biodiversity within soil itself triggers ecosystem collapse.
That being said, equally overlooked is soil’s potential as a climate solution. As one of the world’s most significant carbon sinks, healthy soil supports carbon sequestration, water retention, and helps restore ecosystem balance.
By restoring life to the soil - for instance through regenerative agriculture or reforestation - we’re protecting the very foundation of life on earth.

Land restoration boosts livelihoods, reduces poverty, and builds resilience to extreme weather. Every $1 invested in land restoration brings up to $30 in ecosystem services. Action now: https://t.co/iLerqreGQa #SaveSoil4Future
Healthy soil supports the food we grow, helps regulate water cycles, stores carbon, and sustains countless forms of life. Revitalizing soil is not just about agriculture—it is about securing a healthier future for people and the planet.

@uha_en Soil degradation is also happening at an alarming pace worldwide. it takes more than 500 years to make 1 inch of topsoil. 90% of world's agri soils would be degraded by 2050 according to UNCCD.

This World Environment Day, climate action remains central to building a more resilient future.
One of the most important systems supporting that future lies right beneath our feet: soil.
Healthy soil plays a vital role in carbon storage, water retention, food security, and ecosystem health.
Over the coming days, we will be exploring the connection between climate and soil, and why it matters for long-term ecological resilience.
#WorldEnvironmentDay #ClimateChange #SaveSoil
It's quite exciting to see soil awareness is picking up momentum and we're beginning to see more documentaries about this important topic.
Let's keep up the good work and continue to talk about soil!
