Not all soil is created equal.
A little more shade.
A few more earthworms.
A little more organic matter.
A different way of farming.
Small changes above ground can transform what happens below it.

‘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.

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.

We are a part of the environment - changing ourselves is changing the environment. Saving the environment is also about saving ourselves. On this Environment Day, let us understand the core connect between what we call as Life and what we call as Environment: this is a Living Planet. Let's nourish it to be alive and thriving as that is the basis of our lives. -Sg #WorldEnvironmentDay @UNEP
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.
🌱 13.4 crore trees planted
🤝 2.5 lakh farmers engaged
🌍 A scalable model that brings ecology and economy together
