The Health of the Land Determines the Health of the Herd

Research shows that human health is greatly impacted by soil heath.

90% of the Earth’s topsoil is likely to be at serious risk by 2050 if we fail to take action.
Today’s fruits and vegetables are 11% to 81% less nutritious since the 1930’s as a result of depleted soils.
In the past 100 years alone, 75% of global food crop varieties and over 93% of U.S. vegetable seed diversity have disappeared.

With chronic disease and environmental degradation on the rise, it’s urgent that we restore soil health —the foundation for healthy people, communities, and democracies.
