It plays a critical role in watershed management by mitigating water borne diseases as well as organic and inorganic contaminants (SDG15). Moreover, water security is a gendered issue (SDG5) as women and girls are disproportionately responsible for water collection.

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.
