Soil is the mother of all things. Healthy soil is vital for food safety. From salinization and desertification in the west to the degradation of black soil in the north and alarming soil acidification in the south, soil problems directly threaten our environment. Just like us, soil has a finite “lifespan”, ranging from 600 to 1,200 years. While food production is essential, our focus must also be on sustaining the land itself. Let's show reverence for the land by fostering a deeper understanding of soil science and the challenges it faces. By adopting practices that nurture and protect our soil, we can cultivate a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, ensuring the simultaneous progress of civilization and a healthy ecology.
