Are we losing soil biodiversity? How to preserve it for a healthy future
This episode, hosted by Andrés Díaz, emphasizes the crucial importance of soil biodiversity for our planet's health and our own survival. It highlights that about 25% of Earth's biodiversity resides in the soil, including microorganisms, worms, bacteria, and fungi, which form a vital underground ecosystem that supports fertility, plant health, and climate regulation. Losing this biodiversity threatens food security, accelerates desertification—where fertile land turns into desert—and jeopardizes ecosystem stability.
The episode explains that practices like chemical overuse, monoculture, and neglect harm soil life. To preserve soil health, sustainable methods such as crop rotation, organic farming, reducing chemical fertilizers, and composting are recommended. Small actions, like avoiding pesticides and supporting conservation efforts, can make a significant difference.
It also touches on the spiritual dimension, suggesting that soil reflects our relationship with nature and that respecting it requires a shift in mindset towards greater consciousness and reverence. The potential consequences of losing soil biodiversity are severe: collapse of agriculture, ecosystem breakdown, and increased climate change.
In conclusion, Díaz urges listeners to recognize their role in protecting soil and to take responsible actions—from gardening practices to supporting policies—that ensure a healthy, sustainable future. Healthy soil is portrayed as our true wealth and the foundation of life itself.
