On the care of soils
From Appropedia
The soil, be it of the desert, forest or the swamp, is a mixture of the result of the weathering of rocks, the mineral substrate, and an almost infinite complex of microorganisms in a bewildering series of interacting ecosystems. The soil microbiota may be considered as the basic flora and fauna of this planet since every living thing on Earth's land depends directly or indirectly on the health of Earth's soil microbiota. The sea has a similar situation.
Throughout his history, man has destroyed far more soil than remains for his use. This futile act flies in the face of the fact that, it is not all that difficult to defend and improve the soils in use, plus the fact that such improved soils grow crops producing healthier, more nourishing and flavorful foods. Here we deal with how to get your hands dirty in benefit of man and his Earth.
