But soil health is about much more than just food production. It plays a critical role in mitigating climate change, filtering water, and supporting biodiversity.
Unfortunately, soil health is under threat from various factors, including intensive agriculture practices, pollution, and climate change. [ [1](https://www.nature.com/articles/s43017-020-0080-8) ]This event is a vital opportunity to discuss these challenges and explore solutions.
