Earthworms, Soil Conservation, Soil Health: Getting to the Roots of It

Before choosing any management practices in terms of soil and water conservation, it is important to know why and where we start from.

This talk will explore where soil erosion starts from and try to understand the real impacts of poor soil health on its vulnerability to erosion and decreasing yields both volumetric and economic.

Soil health is based on the proper way to feed its living organisms. Who are these organisms and what kind of food do they prefer? Knowing that, it will be possible to identify the best strategy for everyone.
