Description
Humans depend on soil for 95% of global food production, yet we let it erode at unsustainable rates leaving vast tracts of farmland barren of topsoil and thus unable to support food production for a growing population. The crisis is worsened by the mutually reinforcing relationship between climate change and soil erosion, which generates a dangerous vicious cycle of environmental destruction.
