Our Soil is going extinct, and so is our food.
Modern industrial agriculture practices deplete our soil of its carbon and elemental nutrients in order to mass produce food – all too often genetically modified and sprayed with poison.
Meanwhile, BigAg Multinationals and profit driven developers continue to buy up the world’s farmlands at an unprecedented rate. The result is increased centralized control and mismanagement of the world’s agricultural lands and food supply.
According to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD)
at current rates of degradation, fertile soil will go extinct within the next 60 years. In addition, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that by 2045, food production will drop by 40%, as the population crosses 9.3 billion.
Soil extinction is a real and immediate concern
Unless addressed now, will lead to catastrophic global crises within one generation’s time… including food and water shortages, droughts and famines, adverse climate changes, mass migrations and unprecedented rates of species extinction.
While the degree of systemic change needed to address this pending catastrophe is daunting
new ways of combining finance, creativity and entrepreneurship through Web3 blockchain capital raises offers the potential to rapidly crowd source significant funding and community involvement towards literally saving the earth’s soil.
