Only fertile soil will give us food security
On 3 December as part of the Festa del Bio, the meeting "Only fertile soil will give us food security" will be held.
The soil is the origin of the food we eat, but already a third of the world's land is in a state of degradation. Even in Italy, 30% of the land is desertified or in the process of desertification. In many areas of the Po Valley the fields have very low fertility percentages, below 1%: this is a problem that affects the entire agricultural world and consequently all citizens.

For this reason the association Cambia la Terra, FederBio project with Legambiente, Lipu, Doctors for the Environment, Slow Food and WWF, has created an information campaign, "La Compagnia del Suolo" which examined the quantity of pesticides present in the fields. In view of World Soil Day on 5 December, FederBio talks about the results of the action and disseminates data on agricultural soils.
