Have we become soil blind?

The life-sustaining skin of the earth, the soils, are disappearing rapidly on a global scale. Industrialized urban societies could be said to suffer from partial soil blindness, not noticing the intricate life of soils, the biocultures they are part of and the many gifts they offer. Apart from providing food, living soils mitigate climate change, store water, and draw down carbon into the ground. In short: soil is key to sustainable futures. How could we become better collaborators? Explore the fascinating world of soils with us!
