“Soil fertility determines the future of a civilization”
A. Howard
Food sovereignty and the health of our environmental and social ecosystems are deeply intertwined with the Earth and its natural resources.
The ongoing degradation of these resources has already led to visible consequences, a direct result of humanity’s continued disregard for this critical issue.
We can no longer passively wait for large institutions to intervene. Each of us must recognize our individual responsibility and the impact of our daily actions - whether positive or negative - on the future of our planet.
Preserving and restoring the ecosystems that sustain and nourish us, both today and for generations to come, must become an urgent priority for all.
