Currently we are all panicking about plastic and rising temperatures, but, as Geoff Tansey points out in an interesting blog, do we worry enough about the soil and soil biodiversity? Is that not as, if not more, important than climate change?
Healthy soils depends on their biodiversity, but because we cannot see it, we tend not to worry about it. As a result ’33 percent of the world’s land is moderately to highly degraded due to the erosion, salinization, compaction, acidification and chemical pollution of soils‘.
