Soil is the foundation of life on Earth. It supports the growth of our food, filters water, regulates carbon and sustains biodiversity. This year's World Soil Day theme, ‘Measure, Monitor and Manage’, reminds us that our stewardship of soil today will determine the health and resilience of our planet tomorrow. By measuring #soilhealth, monitoring its changes over time and managing its long-term resilience by implementing regenerative agriculture practices, we can ensure that soil continues to support life for generations to come. At LDC, we work with partners to conduct detailed baseline measurements of soil, using a combination of on-field sensors, machine learning and direct soil sample analyses. These data-driven efforts enable informed decision-making to help build healthy soils over time, optimizing productivity in the short-term while enhancing the long-term resilience of soils.
