Save Soil movement predicts massive damage to fields all over the glove over the next 30 years.
A map predicts 95 per cent of America's soil will be degraded in less than 30 years.Only a 5 percent area is marked not degraded, in a forecast by the Save Soil movement, which shows all other areas of land on the globe suffering the same damage.'This does not just affect global agriculture, but increasingly our vulnerability to extreme climate shocks, like droughts and floods,' said the Save Soil movement.
'An example of these policies is the Soil Health and Income Protection Program .This was a pilot program introduced by the 2018 Farm Bill, which provides payments to farmers who plant perennials on farmland that is not being used for crops.These plants help conserve the soil, reduce erosion, and contribute organic matter to the soil when they grow and die.It also helps improve water filtration and provides habitats for insects that may be beneficial to the soil.
