Did you know that a single gram of healthy soil contains more microorganisms than the entire human population on Earth? Soils are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, playing a critical role in human health, carbon storage, water regulation, and the overall well-being of ecosystems. But here’s the alarming truth: soils, like any living organism, can die.

Every minute, the world loses the equivalent of 30 football fields of fertile soil. While it takes hundreds of years to form just an inch of soil, it can be lost in seconds. This rapid degradation is driving biodiversity loss, reducing ecosystem services, and impacting the lives of 3.2 billion people worldwide.

In this episode, Ximena and Lorenzo uncover the hidden world beneath our feet, revealing why healthy soils are essential for solving some of our biggest social, health, and environmental challenges. More importantly, they’ll share how you, as an individual, can take simple but powerful actions to help protect and restore the soils that sustain life as we know it.

Tune in to reconnect with the Earth and be part of the solution—because healthy soils mean a healthy future for all.
