The Soil Beneath Our Feet

Without fertile soil, there would be no habitat for animals and plants – and therefore no food for us. And the climate depends on it, too. But this valuable soil is in danger.

Intensive agriculture and climate change are causing more and more destruction. Soil erosion and desertification are the result – even in our own neighbourhoods. What does this mean for our agriculture? Far too little thought is being given to this issue. That’s exactly what we want to change! Together with you and experts with on-the-ground experience and from science, we’ll be dealing with the topic – in a way that’s easily understandable, exciting and oriented towards finding solutions. Drop by and join the discussion – so that we won’t lose the soil beneath our feet!
