Healthy soil is the bridge between #air 🌬️ and water 💧 that keeps our planet in balance! 🌍
Let's make sure we're keeping this essential interface healthy for the benefit of the #Environment! #SoilHealth#SaveSoil

If we want to fix climate change, we have to save soil.
By revitalizing soil, we can mitigate up to one third of global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions (based on a 2023 FAO report), with the only side effect being a richer, healthier soil.

While soil and agrifood systems have left a notable impact at #COP28, there is still significant ground to cover to secure their recognition as pivotal solutions for climate change mitigation. As we celebrate the wins, let's redouble our efforts to #SaveSoil and fix climate change.

#SoilForClimateAction
Soil degradation causes millions to migrate every year, and the UN has warned of a dangerous decline in food production over the next 30 years, with Earth’s topsoil at risk by 2050. 🌍🚨
As fertile lands turn barren, communities are uprooted, setting the stage for mass migration and conflict. Our goal is to protect the soil, boost soil organic matter, and empower communities to flourish where they are. 🌱🌾💪

COP28 was a promising start to making soil part of #ClimateAction.
We urge governments, organizations and leaders to make long-term #soilhealth legislation a reality. A three-pronged strategy to raise soil organic matter in agricultural soil is the way forward.

How to bring down CO2 to pre-industrial-era levels?
The potential to do this lies underneath our feet, in the soil and vegetation that grows in it. The carbon in soil - in the form of soil organic matter like animal and plant litter - is vital both for climate change control, and for the growth and nourishment of all life above soil.

The Source of all Life and Livelihood is rich Soil. Without affirming and enacting soil conservation measures, the devastating repercussions on farmer livelihood, climate change and unplanned migration will be unparalleled. Now is the time to #SaveSoil. -Sg #soilforclimateaction
Language may divide us. Religion may divide us. Our class, caste, race & economic status may divide us- all are man-made divisions of no Existential consequence. What unites all of us is Soil- the Source of all Life on this Planet.- Sg @CIFOR@4per1000#soilforclimateaction
The greatest legacy we can leave for future generations is land that is teeming with Life. Rich Soil is the pulse of everything we know as life. The only and only way to actively change the trajectory of our planet is to #SaveSoil. Let us make it happen- Sg #soilforclimateaction
Act Now to #SaveSoil
We are living at a crucial time 🕤, when a quick turnaround of worldwide soil health is still possible. If we wait, revitalising soil will become much more challenging as more and more species of microorganisms go extinct – over 27,000 every year. ⏰ The climate clock is ticking! #SaveSoil. Let us make it happen.

🍇 Do you like purple or blue fruits & vegetables? 🫐
Here’s another reason to love & eat them!
💜 Blue & purple fruits or vegetables are often full of antioxidants that can reduce the risks of cancer, stroke & heart disease.

Bientôt la fête des JO de Paris 🏋️♀️ 🏀 on construit des infrastructures pour absorber le flux des athlètes mais il est vital de construire des sols sains pour absorber les averses et éviter les inondations #SaveSoil#JO2024#ConsciousPlanet#inondations
When it rains, it pours – and when it pours, flooding is not far off.
Flooding is one of the extreme weather events on the rise across the world due to the effects of climate change. But a missing link that could help alleviate the dangers of flooding is soil. Healthy soil can absorb a large quantity of rain – up to one and a half Olympic swimming pools per hectare – which not only helps prevent flash floods but also stores the water for drier periods of drought when plants can access the water safely stored underground.
