Conclusion
As you can see, soil degradation is a serious
problem in the world that no one is really
realizing. It impacts the environment, global and
local communities and personal health. There
are not a lot of solutions that we can do to
prevent this and that is why I am writing this
article to inform the people. Everyone is taking
advantage of soil and not realizing how much it
helps us survive. Without soil, we wouldnt be
able to grow crops and plants that help create
the necessities for our body (amino acids,
vitamins, etc.). That is why soil degradation
needs to be spread out to the world so we can
use our soils wisely.
