Detailed explanation-1: -Healthy soils are essential for healthy plant growth, human nutrition, and water filtration. Healthy soil supports a landscape that is more resilient to the impacts of drought, flood, or fire. Soil helps to regulate the Earth’s climate and stores more carbon than all of the world’s forests combined.

Detailed explanation-2: -Soil should be enriched with natural fertilizers such as organic and green manure and compost. Natural fertilizers are healthier for soil, plants, water, air and people than chemical fertilizers. Water and water resources should be protected: As in life, it needs absolute water in agriculture.

Detailed explanation-3: -Soils supply the essential nutrients, water, oxygen and root support that our food-producing plants need to grow and flourish. They also serve as a buffer to protect delicate plant roots from drastic fluctuations in temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -When preparing seedbeds, avoid over-tillage and keep the seedbed as coarse as possible to keep the aggregates large enough to retain gases and carbon. Any addition of organic material helps improve soil quality. Organic material adds carbon to the soil and helps to keep soil aggregates separate and intact.
