Soil

In the “soil” section of the flower, we explain how the farmer maintains a healthy soil. Together with water and sunlight, soil is the foundation of life. A living soil produces healthy food and a stable environment. Non-sustainable farming is now destroying twelve million hectares of good soil every year. This is leading to massive migrations of people which puts ever more pressure on our stressed environment. On a more positive note: when managed properly, with composting, soils are one of the most effective measures for mitigating climate change!
