Healthy Soil means Healthy Food

 Healthy Soil = Healthy Food: Why Soil Health is the Foundation of Sustainability

Soil is more than just the ground beneath our feet – it is the very basis of life. In fact, 95% of the world’s food comes directly or indirectly from soil. From cereals to vegetables, pulses to fruits, our nutrition begins with the fertility and health of the soil.

However, soil is under serious threat. Unsustainable farming practices, overuse of chemicals, erosion, and loss of organic matter are degrading soils at an alarming rate. 

The consequences are severe: declining harvests, loss of biodiversity, reduced nutritional quality of food, and weaker resilience to climate change.

At Mrittika Harvest, we emphasize the urgent need to protect and restore soils. Sustainable practices like composting, mulching, crop rotation, and agroforestry can revive soil ecosystems and ensure healthy food, thriving farmers, and a sustainable future.

Because when the soil lives, everything lives. 🌱
