Let's face it: Soil is complex. Even more so when we try to understand soil from multiple perspectives: soil science, economic actors, policy makers, or community stewards all work with soil, yet they consider very different aspects of this precious living skin of our home planet.
About
We've created this compilation to help you navigate the complexity and grasp the big soil challenge we are facing, along with key concepts soils are deeply and directly connected to. It is for all those who want to enjoy life beyond today and contribute to a healthy planet, for themselves and coming generations. It is intended to support newcomers and established experts in digging into key soil health and biodiversity resources, as well as highlight related topics.
At Terrabiom, we work with soil every day. We've become experts at integrating diverse perspectives and finding common language to find common ground between different stakeholders. Picking up people from a place they're familiar with is an important part of this bridge-building work, and to do this effectively it's essential to work with landmark references from the respective fields.
Great moments deserve special attention: We are thrilled to be publishing this compilation on the symbolic date of 22.02.2022.
May it serve you in your work as an established or emerging soil steward.
In a nutshell
This compilation lists essential resources rooting four main themes. These themes are equally the core competences of Terrabiom:
Soil & Soil Health
Economy & Nature
Biodiversity & Climate
Sustainable Development & Regeneration.
We hope this may inspire you to rethink the role of regenerative businesses and reimagine the world we want to leave for future generations. You, too, have a role and agency in how we shape our soil story, together.
Discover the details behind the following statements and much more:
The majority of the world’s soil resources are only in fair, poor or very poor condition. FAO, 2015
There are a rapicly growing number of people who are rethinking how to interact with our planet and are moving from being apart from nature to being a part of nature: The regenerators. Laura Storm & Giles Hutchins, in: regenerative leadership, 2019.
Soils are not just the responsibility of the agribusiness sector. Sectors like forestry, real estate or mining also directly impact soil health, and all other sectors are indirectly affecting or are affected by soils. Terrabiom conclusion upon the finalisation of this compilation
Closing words
Whilst we cannot change the past, as individuals we can take responsibility for a systemic change from the bottom-up, starting with our own actions. There are a rapidly growing number of people who are rethinking how to interact with our planet and are moving from being apart from nature to being a part of nature: The regenerators.
In this tribe, everyone is welcome: small and big farmers, researchers, artists, entrepreneurs, healers, teachers, business leaders, legislators and governments, financial institutions, NGOs, media, rural and local communities, our families and you. We are stronger together, and the time to act is now.
In the end, it’s simple: Healthy soils, healthy people, healthy planet.
