Die ganze Welt profitiert von besseren Böden!

>0Millionenlandwirtschaftliche Betriebe weltweit (FAO 2014)
~0MilliardeMenschen sind in der Landwirtschaft beschäftigt (2021)
>0%unserer Nahrungsmittel werden auf Böden produziert
0MillionenMenschen leiden an Hunger (2019)

betterSoil arbeitet daran Denkweisen zu ändern aber auch modernes wissenschaftliches Wissen in die Praxis umzusetzen und es mit jahrtausendealten Traditionen zu verknüpfen, welche wir indigenes Wissen nennen. Dies ist ein großartiges Beispiel einer generationenübergreifenden Zusammenarbeit, um eine Zukunft für kommende Generationen zu gestalten in der vielfältiges Leben auf einem gesunden Planeten möglich sein wird.

Fruchtbare Böden, artenreiche Wälder und organische Gebäude sind das magische Dreieck für eine bessere Welt! Auf besseren Böden wachsen bessere Nahrungsmittel, nachhaltig genutzte Wälder fördern die Biodiversität und für die Bevölkerung vor Ort entstehen neue Chancen der Wertschöpfung. Daher arbeiten meine Initiative Bauhaus der Erde und betterSoil zusammen.

Die Initiative “betterSoil” kommt zur richtigen Zeit! Unser herzlicher Dank gilt daher Azadeh Farajpour und ihrem Team. Es ist gut, dass die Qualität der Böden wieder stärker diskutiert wird, weil die konventionelle großflächige Art der Landwirtschaft mit viel Agrarchemie viele Böden schwach gemacht hat. Böden spielen eine herausragende Rolle für den Erhalt der biologischen Vielfalt, gerade durch das Augenmerk auf die oft vergessenen natürlichen Lebensgemeinschaften der Böden.
