By the time you’ve read this, 9,378 m² of fertile soil has been destroyed. Actress Julia Roberts has lent her celebrity status to help promote the UN-backed ‘Save Our Soils’, a campaign against farmland degradation.
Only sustainable farming practices will preserve fertile farmland for future generations.
The ‘Celebrating Soil! Celebrating Life!‘ congress in Amsterdam last weekend involved royalty (HRH Princess Irene van Lippe-Biesterfeld), conservationists, spiritual leaders like the Dalai Lama and Bishop Desmond Tutu, and business leaders, all trying to spread the message that conserving soil is essential for our planet’s future.
