According to a statement by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, soils have been neglected for far too long.
“We fail to connect soil with our food, water, climate, biodiversity and life. We must invert this tendency and take up some preserving and restoring actions” said the FAO.
Soils play a key role in the supply of clean water acting as a filter for surface rain water which drains into underground aquifers.
