Every year, vast amounts of fertile topsoil are lost to wind and water erosion. Once this layer is gone, rebuilding soil fertility can take decades.
Across the world, farmers are adopting practices such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, and diversified crop rotations to keep soil in place. Protecting the ground beneath our feet is essential for sustaining agriculture and ensuring long‑term food security.

‘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.

When soil is healthy, water stays and farmers' incomes multiply.
At a Delhi press conference, Cauvery Calling showcased a proven approach to addressing two of agriculture's biggest challenges: water security and farmer prosperity.
Healthy, carbon-rich soil acts like a sponge—absorbing rainfall, recharging groundwater, and supporting crops through changing climate conditions. Tree-based agriculture helps make this possible while creating additional income streams for farmers.
The results speak for themselves.
Valluvan, a farmer from Tamil Nadu and UN FAO Soil Health Guardian 2024, shared how he transformed his farm through tree-based agriculture—growing his income from ₹30,000 to ₹3,00,000 per acre per year while significantly improving soil health.

🤝 2.5 lakh farmers engaged
🌍 A scalable model that brings ecology and economy together

But healthy soil helps mitigate climate change, supports biodiversity, protects against droughts and floods, and forms the foundation of our food and water systems.
It's more than "just dirt."

Our food begins its journey in the soil. The quality of the ground where crops grow can influence the nutrients and beneficial compounds found in the food we eat.
Healthy soil helps produce nutrient-rich crops that support the microbes in our gut and the overall balance of our bodies. Caring for soil health is an important step toward sustaining both ecosystems and human wellbeing.
