Could the planet’s largest living ecosystem also be the solution to climate breakdown? Restoring agricultural soil health is increasingly being labelled as a principle means of carbon sequestration, and preserving biodiversity. This panel will offer perspectives from leading experts on the vital importance of sustainable soil management in humanity’s future, and how what was once considered an inert substance, may be the answer we’ve been looking for.

Sustainable soil management practices can climate proof these farmers whilst making their lands an effective carbon sink. The protocol challenges they face in engaging with the market as individuals can be overcome by coming together. This event will showcase the efforts from various parts of the world in collectivising small and medium scale farmers practising sustainable soil management, and the exciting opportunities that can be unlocked to scale agriculture based climate solutions.

Exclusive: Sadhguru Issues Dire Warning About Future of World
It is widely estimated that soil needs at least 3 percent organic content to sustain plant life, but modern agricultural techniques—including intensive plowing and overcultivation—are among things that can bring down the content. The less organic content, the fewer organisms it can maintain and the less carbon it can hold.

If We Achieve Anything at COP28, It Must Be the Protection of Our Soil
Soil not only produces our food but also filters our water. Specifically, topsoil is crucial for the filtration of groundwater, upon which some 50% of the world’s population rely on. The link between soil erosion and water contamination has been well-established, meaning that action at this year’s COP is more crucial than ever.

Protecting our organic soils could be the defining achievement of COP28
Soil is one of the planet’s most crucial organs. It provides our food, filters out water, is home to our biodiversity, and stores our carbon. Until now, this vital, yet underappreciated resource has been left on the sidelines of climate conversations.

Liguria, il futuro raso al suolo
I progetti di depavimentazione o decostruzione (ovvero, eliminare cemento ed edifici per tornare alla terra) si possono realizzare, ma il suolo è un elemento fragile e molto lento nel rinnovarsi: impiega centinaia di anni per riformarsi e tornare in salute. Dello stato di benessere del suolo si parla anche alla Cop28 di Dubai (in corso fino al 12 dicembre). A portare avanti le istanze della pelle del Pianeta durante la conferenza è il movimento globale** Salva il suolo**, fondato nel 2022 dallo yogi e leader spirituale indiano Sadhguru.
