Why Is Soil So Important?
Soil is the basic stuff that provides for our life.
  • Essential for our food supply
  • Essential for agriculture and for growing all plants
  • Stores, filters, and purifies water
  • Supports our homes, businesses, and roads
  • Stores atmospheric carbon and buffers climate change
  • Provides habitat for most living things
  • Essential for forests, prairies, wetlands, and all ecosystems
  • Disposes of our wastes
QUOTE FOR THOUGHT “It is by studying soil, and by nurturing it, that we lengthen and strengthen our own hopeful communion with the land along the continuum of time. For the soil remembers, and one day, for better or for worse, it will remember also us”. Henry Janzen, 2016 The Soil Remembers. SSSAJ 80(6):1429-1432
