Soil Health

Soil health refers to the ability of soil to function effectively as a living ecosystem. Healthy soil supports plant growth, stores water, and provides nutrients, while also promoting biodiversity and carbon storage. It is characterized by good structure, adequate organic matter, and a balanced presence of microorganisms, insects, and other organisms. Healthy soil also regulates water and air flow, reduces erosion, and filters pollutants. Overall, maintaining soil health is crucial for sustainable agriculture, food production, and environmental well-being. Healthy soil contributes to resilient ecosystems that can better withstand climate change and other stresses.
