Healthy soil filters contaminants, preventing them from entering water systems. Polluted water is inhospitable to a great deal of biodiversity, and threatens human health (SDG3). Degraded soil is also associated with runoff and erosion (SDG15), causing sedimentation in rivers - and eventually oceans - blocking light from entering and suppressing aquatic plant growth.

Submit a resource
Resources can be anything relating soil health with any of the SDGs. This includes scientific literature, policy documents or decisions, op-eds, blogs, videos, and everything else! We are also interested in learning about how your organisation addresses the SDGs through soil health, so we can demonstrate this in practice.
