Fertile

Abstract

Soil, often perceived as ​dirt​ to many, is a major component of the Earth’s ecosystem. Unfortunately, this highly valuable resource is facing increasing pressure to satisfy our growing population’s need for food, space, urbanisation, energy production, raw material extraction and many more (Wallander, 2014). As a result, we are losing healthy soils faster than what nature could recreate. This will leave a devastating impact on the environment and our way of life in time to come.
