The POWER of SOIL!

Without soil,we are nothing. Do you agree?

The stuff that that you probably call “dirt” are the foundation of life.  

Please open your eyes and your mind to the connection between soil and life.

I will show you what have soil contributes to our life…

First of all, water. We need water to survive not only for drinks but also for our biological systems to functions. Water also needed for plant to survive and continuously produce oxygen for living organism to survive. Even our routine activity also cannot separated from water such as shower, cooking, planting, washing and so on... But in order for water to retain and go through the hydrological processes they need a reservoir.

This is where the Soil play their roles.

Secondly, the food productions. Our food was produced by soil through agricultural activities. We plant rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits... Where do you think your bread, juices,cereal come from? They all come from plants, where this plant come from then? 

Of course they grow in soil!

Our milk, meat also come from soil because animal consume plant, while plant grow in soil...

Thirdly, shelters. A skyscraper building, houses, factory etc... all was made from the soil. We need wood, sand, stone, clay to build a house... our house would not exist without soil as the house need soil as a base!

Fourthly, cloth. Cloth are made of cotton, wool, linen, silk that come from plants and animals that eats plants. 

Lastly, soil also needed to produce fossil fuel such as petroleum and coal. This happened when ancient plant and animals remains buried in the soil and undergone extreme changes.

  

  

Everything that we use or eat indeed linked to soil no matter how you deny it. We depend on soil in our life, without soil human will likely become extinct. Soil is often the forgotten component yet soil is crucial to food production, urban development and many more...

So, please stop being so ignorant and arrogant as we are not so great without SOIL!

By knowing how soil is so important, let us together learn how to manage and sustain our soil. Of course first of all we need to understand the basic soil science before we manage it.

"Being ignorant is not so much a shame as

being unwilling to learn!"
