Healthy soil is the basis of everything. As the owner of a garden and its grounds, you have an opportunity to make a global impact.

Even though your part of the surface of our shared earth may seem small to you, its significance is important. Healthy soil provides water, food, and energy security worldwide. It also increases natural biodiversity and protects against the risks of climate change.

 

Healthy Soil is Teeming with Life

The soil has been identified as one of the most significant reserves of global biodiversity. Its importance is growing as research increases.

It is already known that soil organisms, insects, worms, bacteria, viruses, fungi, lichens, and plants perform numerous functions in our ecosystem. By caring for the soil in your own garden, you also improve your and your family's health and the well-being of the entire ecosystem.

Healthy soil is the basis of all well-being. It is also the foundation of a healthy, abundant garden.

 

World Soil Day

On December 5th, it's World Soil Day. The purpose of it is to remind us of the importance of the soil as the foundation of our entire well-being.

The World Soil Day 2020 (#WorldSoilDay) theme is "Keep soil alive, Protect soil biodiversity." The day aims to raise awareness of the importance of maintaining healthy ecosystems and human well-being.

The campaign 2020 addresses the growing challenges of soil management and the loss of soil biodiversity. It increases soil awareness and encourages governments, organizations, communities, and individuals worldwide to proactively improve soil health.

 

365 Days of the Year

The other 364 days still remain.

Let's celebrate the soil whenever we bustle in our own gardens. There are many of us gardeners, and our impact is multiplying worldwide. You're important. Your garden matters!
