PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation:
Soils take thousands of years to form. At the same time, this raw material is finite. Overuse can lead to nutrient depletion and loss of soil substance, even to complete destruction. Climate change increases this dynamic, for example through periods of drought or increased heavy rain. 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 available for agriculture is decreasing, but at the same time the number of people who need to be fed is increasing.
Small farmers in developing countries in particular are experiencing the consequences directly. So-called land degradation has a direct impact on their income and nutrition. While a family could perhaps plant three hectares of cassava a decade ago, today the usable acreage may have been halved - and with it the size and quality of the harvest.
Soils are also the second largest carbon store
