🧐 Did you know?

On Earth, there are 92 naturally occurring chemical elements, 18 are essential to plants and 15 of them are supplied by soils!

Soil health & fertility have a direct influence on the nutrient content of food crops 🌱

RT @FAO: About 95% of our food comes from soils.

But 33% of our soils are degraded, & nutrient imbalance is one of the leading causes.

Improving soil nutrient balance is an effective way to help ensure safe, nutritious food for all.
