Soil is a living miracle. In one handful of soil there are more organisms than there are humans on earth and we are only beginning to understand the vast network of organisms right beneath our feet. We rely on healthy soil for 95% of what we eat, yet we take it granted. Thousand of years of ploughing, deforestation and erosion reduced the carbon content in soil.
When soil is damaged it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and this has serious consequences for climate, too much carbon in the atmosphere causes the earth to overheat and excess carbon also causes oceans to acidify there by threatening marine life.
In fact many of the world's cultivated soil have lost more than 50% of original soil carbon.
We now know how to put back the carbon into the soil.
Plants capture carbon di-oxide in their leaves and pump the carbon down to the roots to feed hungry micro organisms living in the soil. Therefore atmospheric carbon, once considered a Problem, becomes soil carbon, a Solution.
Compost is like magic soil food. It is made from leftover kitchen scraps (like fruit peels and coffee grounds etc.), garden waste and other things that can break down. After sometime these things turn into nutrient-rich, dark, crumbly soil that helps plants grow big and strong
Composting is a natural process that transforms organic waste into nutrient-rich soil conditioner. By decomposing kitchen scraps, yard waste, and other organic materials, compost is created – a valuable resource for enhancing soil fertility and promoting sustainability
