To ensure food security, the world must stop letting fertile soil wash and blow away. Soil creates life from death. The production of more than 95% of the food we eat relies on soil...Yet this precious resource is eroding at a global average of 13.5 tonnes per hectare per year.
The Melekeok Conservation Network (MCN) in partnership with the Palau Housing Authority planted Seba Grass to prevent erosion as a need to use resources for preservation and more efficiently to promote long-term sustainability of soil enrichment.
Soil loss due to water runoff could increase greatly around the world over the next 50 years due to climate change and intensive land cultivation.
