Soil Health Academy’s Post

It is #WorldSoilDay today - although soil health is one of our top priorities every day. As we work with farmers and ranchers to implement or enhance regenerative practices, we constantly hear about the importance of their soil and their drive to improve its health for long-term resilience and viability. In this video, hear from a SD farmer as he shares about the benefits he has seen on his operation since transitioning to no-till.

How often do you think about soil? 🤔🌱 Well, if you are in the business of growing things, chances are you think about it quite a bit! Soil plays a critical role in our natural systems and human health through food, water, and energy security. Without healthy soil, it isn’t possible to have healthy landscapes, agriculture, or green spaces. Today is recognized as World Soil Day to help bring awareness to how vital soil health is to our daily lives. To learn more about World Soil Day visit https://bit.ly/41aNaTL

Even if #climatechange was not an issue, we would still have to deal with #Biodiversityerosion. From not mowing your lawn to changing a few things in your food diet, you can do a lot to preserve #Biodiversity, at an individual or group level. Based on the IPBES and other sceintific resources, come to understand the why and the how by joining our next workshops: Online: https://lnkd.in/guWZzM4g In person: https://lnkd.in/eWJ2N5Dp Fresque de la Biodiversité

This #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) Week, we’re highlighting important research into the intersection of microplastics and antimicrobial resistance, through Emily Stevenson's collaborative PhD project with the University of Exeter and Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML). The project investigates how microplastics in aquatic environments act as vectors, spreading antibiotic-resistant bacteria and impacting both human and animal health. The project is supported by strong partnerships with organisations like Beach Guardian and the UK House of Lords, ensuring that the research directly contributes to both community conservation and policy development. With outreach events, beach cleans, and workshops at schools, the project has engaged thousands, raising awareness about marine conservation and the links between plastic pollution and AMR. This work has helped bridge the gap between academia and community engagement, driving both environmental and social change!

5.12 - World Soil Day: For Soil Health and a Better Future 🌱 Today we mark World Soil Day - dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of healthy soil and sustainable management of this vital resource. Soil is the beating heart of our life system: providing about 95% of our food and supporting plants that give us the oxygen we breathe. At Sheffa by Deshen Hatzafon - the leading company in plant and environmental health, we work intensively for soil health through: 🌱 Certified agronomists providing field guidance and tailored solutions 🌱 Developing innovative products for soil fertility and quality improvement 🌱 Comprehensive field testing to ensure soil resilience and sustainability. We recognize that soil health isn't just a responsibility - it's a right. We're committed to protecting this resource from uncontrolled use and ensuring its fertility for future generations. Let's continue working together for healthy soil - today and every day.

Today, we celebrate International Day of Plant Health, recognizing the crucial role that healthy plants play in sustaining life on Earth. Plants provide us with oxygen, food, medicine, and habitat for countless species. However, they face numerous threats, including pests, diseases, and climate change. On this day, let's raise awareness about the importance of plant health and the actions we can take to protect it. By practicing sustainable agriculture, preventing the spread of invasive species, and supporting plant conservation efforts, we can safeguard our crops, forests, and ecosystems. Let's also acknowledge the vital role of plant health professionals, researchers, and farmers who work tirelessly to keep our plants healthy. Together, let's commit to preserving the health and diversity of plant life for the well-being of our planet and future generations. #PlantHealth #SustainableAgriculture #ProtectOurPlants 🌱🌿🌍

#DYK that August is #WaterQualityMonth? 💧 As populations continue to grow, the need for clean water becomes increasingly vital to sustain a healthy society. Contaminated water poses great risk to human, animal, and environmental health, causing illness and changes to the environment, such as eutrophication. 🔬 Fortunately, through a #OneHealth approach, we can develop innovative solutions to limit further contamination of our waters.
