PROJECT DESCRIPTION (EN)
Initial situation:
The formation of soils takes thousands of years. At the same time, this raw material is finite. Overexploitation can lead to nutrient depletion and loss of soil substance up to complete destruction. Climate change amplifies this dynamic, for example through periods of drought or increased heavy rainfall. Around ten million hectares of soil are destroyed in this way worldwide every year, which corresponds to around a third of the area of ??Germany. The area that can be used for agriculture is decreasing, but at the same time the number of people who have to be fed is increasing.
Small farmers in developing countries in particular experience the consequences directly. The so-called land degradation has a direct impact on their income and food. A decade ago a family could plant three hectares of cassava, but today the usable area under cultivation may have been halved - and with it the size and quality of the harvest.
Soil is also the second largest carbon store on earth after the oceans. They contain more CO2 than all forests and the atmosphere combined. However, soil degradation releases large amounts of CO
