Description:

We cannot live without healthy land and soil. It is on land that we produce most of our
food and we build our homes. For all species — animals and plants living on land or water
— land is vital. Soil — one of the essential components of land — is a very complex and
often undervalued element, teeming with life. Unfortunately, the way we currently use
land and soil in Europe and in the world is not sustainable. This has significant impacts
on life on land.
