腳下的瑰寶-土壤THE SOIL UNDER YOUR FEET

土壤健康與否，對我們至關重要

Soil is essential to our lives in many ways

健康土壤不僅是健康植物生長所需，也是淨化過濾水源所必要。

健康的土壤能讓地貌形態更容易抵擋乾旱、洪水或火災造成的影響。

簡言之，健康的土壤是生存的基礎。

不幸的是，和眾多自然資源一樣，土壤的處境也是岌岌可危。

全球生活方式及經濟發展的迅速變化，逐漸造成土壤危機。

土壤品質日趨惡化。

排放廢棄物和廢水到土壤裡更造成土壤污染，導致其不宜再種植糧食。

當土壤遭到污染時，產出的農作物必須銷毀，更影響到農民的生計。

一旦土壤受到污染，修復損壞可能需要數十年的時間以及大量的金錢。

土壤需要我們每一個人的幫助。

注意周圍環境的變化；發現有土壤污染情況時，立即通報。

減少食物浪費，吃多一點、少丟一些。

飲食多樣化；攝取不同種類的食物，就能創造出對各種農產品的需求

這樣對土壤更好

讓我們都盡自己的一份力量，一起助土壤一臂之力。

Healthy soil is necessary not only for the growth of healthy plants but also for water filtration. Healthy soil supports a landscape that can more easily resist the effects of drought, floods or fire. In a nutshell, healthy soils are fundamental to our survival.

 Unfortunately, as with so many natural resources, soil is in danger. The world's rapid changes in lifestyle and economic development are creating a soil crisis. Soil quality is degrading. The discharge of waste and wastewater into the soil is polluting it, making it unsuitable for growing food. Whenever soil is polluted, crops must be destroyed, impacting farmers' lives. Once the soil is polluted, it can take decades and a significant amount of money to repair the damage.  The soil needs everyone's help. Pay attention to environmental changes.

 Report pollution when you see it. Reduce food waste by consuming more and throwing away less. Eat a diverse diet. By eating different types of food, we create a

demand for a wide variety of agricultural products. That is better for the soil. Lets’ all do our part to help the soil.
