"52% of our soil is already degraded. In a grim look to the future, projections suggest that degradation levels could rise to 90% by 2050 if we do not act immediately. The impacts of this would be devastating. Degraded soils cannot function in the same way healthy soils do: they cannot grow our food, filter our water, and clean our air.” https://earth.org/why-2024-is-a-pivotal-year-for-our-soil/
