How Soil resources Shape the Quality of Human Life

Human beings play a pivotal role against the loss of biodiversity in the soil. This can be done through growing greener places, investing in biodiversity research, raising awareness and sustainable management of soil resources.

Research indicates that that in 1 gram of health soils, there exist more organisms as compared to the total number of people in the entire world. The soil inhabits organisms such as the tardigrade, ants, worms and moles. 

As the world celebrated this year’s #WorldSoilDay on December 5 in a theme dubbed soil biodiversity, it was observed that soil inhabits more than 25% of the earth’s biodiversity. It was also noted that 95% of food consumed by human beings come from soil.

According to the United Nations, healthy soils are important in the provision of clean water, adaptations to climatic change and the achievement of food security. Soil protection forms the basis of the security of future generations.

In essence, the quality of soil and water is the determinant factor in the quality of people’s life. Everything that is consumed by human beings comes from the soil. Soil is life and without it there’s no life.

The destruction of soil resources diminishes the existence of life on earth. Greener environment is essential for soil conservation because trees restore soil health which in turn results to clean water that is safe for human consumption.

United Nations Organization observes that Soil erosion is a great threat to food security and the general achievement of global goals.

According to Food and Agricultural organization (FAO), soil biodiversity helps in the growth of food,, fight climate change and development of new medicine.
