All natural food comes from the soil
The Food Revolution starts in the soil!
Did you know that building healthy soils on a global scale is one of the best ways to draw down enough carbon to prevent a catastrophic climate crisis?
And carbon storage isn’t soil’s only superpower; the ways that soil stands to positively impact the lives of billions worldwide are tangible and immediate: replenished water cycles, restored fertility, and regenerated ecosystems.
How to show the soil some love:
1. Support your local farmers market! Ask your farmer to tell you about how they care for the soil and ask them about touring their farm. This is also a great activity for kiddos!
2. Grow a plant! Start with one, then usually it will become two or three and soon you’ll be a gardener! 3. Grow your own food! Click here to learn how to create your own Regenerative Garden in your backyard. "Hear and your forget. See and you remember. Do and you understand" Confucius.
