As they say 'The answer lies in the soil'
JD
I know it is not Friday afternoon yet, but I thought I ought to share this
gem from a draft Environment Strategy
"
Soil is important for a number of reasons:-
a) food production is essential for human survival. Almost all vegetation
including grassland, arable crops and trees need soil for the supply of
water and nutrients and to fix their roots,
b) soil stores and partly transforms minerals, organic matter, chemicals and
energy. It also acts as a natural filter for groundwater.
c) soil is the habitat for a huge number of organisms,
d) soil is the platform for human activity. It is part of the landscape and
cultural heritage and acts as the foundation for development.
"
so now we know.
