Soil = Life
On the occasion of World Soil Day, the film Soil = Life was shown on December 5.
Due to intensive farming, a significant proportion of the world’s fertile soils are in a degraded state or have already been permanently destroyed. The reason for this is the decrease in the organic matter content of soils, the resulting structural deterioration, compaction and erosion, as well as acidification, salinization or the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides. About half of Hungary’s territory is cultivated, where enough food could be produced for nearly 20 million people. However, two-thirds of our country’s cropland is threatened by some kind of soil destruction process that reduces fertility.
In order to change this, we need a change of attitude and a reasonable, knowledge-based, and even soil-centered, sustainable, climate-conscious agriculture. That’s what this movie is about.
