Guidance Protecting Soils for Business

Soil is vital for our planet’s survival, providing over 95% of our food and 15 essential nutrients for plants. However, climate change and human activities are degrading soils, leading to erosion, reduced water availability, and diminished food nutrients.

These practices improve soil health, reduce erosion and pollution, and enhance water storage and infiltration. Additionally, they preserve soil biodiversity, boost fertility, and contribute to carbon sequestration, making them a key tool in mitigating climate change and ensuring the long-term health of our ecosystems.
