Healthy soils act as a carbon sink, by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, thus contributing to both climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.
It's #WorldSoilDay and @FAO is at #COP28 flying the flag for #agrifoodsystem solutions!

Only 7.2% of used materials are cycled back into our economies after use. This puts a huge burden on the environment and contributes to the climate, biodiversity, and pollution crises.
The solution? Embracing circular economy

Indigenous peoples & local communities are often the first & most severely affected by the impacts of #ClimateChange. They are also effective stewards of their lands. Supporting them with increased funding is crucial to solving the #ClimateCrisis.

Our food is a reflection of the soil and water used to grow it.
This means that healthy soil = healthy, safe & nutritious food.
It also means that if soil is not healthy, its ability to store and filter water is reduced.
#Soil and water are interconnected!
