Why do we need to protect our soils & soil nutrition?

Simply put: nutrient-deficient soils produce nutrient-deficient plants.... which ultimately lead to people suffering from nutrient deficiencies.

Higher temperatures are making it harder to produce food.

And for vulnerable rural communities, failed harvest seasons can mean meagre earnings and empty plates.

If we don't support them and #ActOnClimate today, we let hunger win.

Forests & family farms form an integrated system vital for indigenous peoples, local communities, and smallholders in forested areas, providing essential ecosystem services & livelihood benefits. 🌳👩‍🌾
