Fair Trade for Living Soil—before it’s too late...

In 2007, a groundbreaking article, "Soil Degradation and Human Health," by David Pimentel and colleagues, exposed a startling truth: the decline of our soil is directly harming human health. Published in EcoHealth, the research uncovered how poor soil quality not only compromises water and food safety but also increases the risk of disease spread.

​

By 2015, the crisis had escalated. Timothy D. Searchinger's study, "Global Health Impacts of Soil Degradation," published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, revealed the devastating effects on food production and nutrition. The research warned that the decline in soil health could have catastrophic consequences for human life, urging immediate global action.

These findings reinforce Earth Foods' unwavering mission to restore balance to the soil and protect the future of human health.
