Did you know that soil helps us deal with #ClimateChange? After the ocean, it’s the 2nd largest carbon sink, meaning it stores & releases carbon in ways that regulate the greenhouse effect.

But deforestation, overgrazing, forest fires, intensive farming, construction & more have taken a toll. Today, 1/3 of the world’s soil is degraded, meaning it’s lost some of its ability to support animals & plants bc of physical, chemical or biological changes.

Protecting soils = protecting the planet🪱🌍

@Sheril

Regenerative agricultural practices are one easy answer to recover soil’s carbon sink capabilities. They work and don’t take long to prove up for the skeptical.

@pjtn @Sheril I was going to say the same thing, you beat me to it.
