The Urgency of Soil Preservation

The episode highlights the alarming rate at which soil is being lost, with a staggering loss of 200,000 tons of soil every hour, which equates to a country the size of Nicaragua disappearing every year. According to the United Nations, we potentially have only 60 harvests left before we encounter severe challenges in food production due to the depletion of topsoil. This loss poses a direct threat to humanity, as without soil, there is no agriculture, leading to food scarcity. It emphasizes that the health of our ecosystems is critical to sustaining human life and calls for urgent action in soil conservation.
