Why is soil such an important resource?
Soil is a vital natural resource. It supports the growth of plants and crops by giving nutrients. Agriculture fulfills the food requirement for the survival of human beings. It provides shelter to organisms such as earthworms and many micro-organisms.
Soil provides ecosystem services critical for life: soil acts as a water filter and a growing medium; provides habitat for billions of organisms, contributing to biodiversity; and supplies most of the antibiotics used to fight diseases. Humans use soil as a holding facility for solid waste, filter for wastewater, and foundation for our cities and towns. Finally, soil is the basis of our nation’s agroecosystems which provide us with feed, fiber, food and fuel.
