👩🌾Learning about financial aspects of farm management helps to empower farmers as they learn that with #agroecology they have more options, and can be more autonomous in their production and decision-making

👩🌾Happy #WorldSoilDay !
🔄Soil doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is part of a complex system. Only by approaching agricultural systems holistically we can regenerate & sustainably manage our soils!
👉See in my article
#agroecology#SoilHealth#agrobiodiversity
🌱Despite its importance, #soil all over the world has been degraded by unsustainable #farming practices. #WorldSoilDay is a time to remember how important soil is not only for #foodsecurity but also for the many other benefits it provides to human life.
