Soil health forms the foundation of sustainable agriculture, playing a critical role in the success and productivity of farming operations. Beyond being a mere medium for plant growth, healthy soil serves as a living ecosystem that supports numerous vital processes. From providing essential nutrients to promoting water retention and preventing erosion, the condition of the soil directly influences agricultural outcomes. Soil health is a significant factor in farming and we must emphasize the need to prioritize its preservation for healthy farming practices.

“Consumer” is often a misleading word. Its connotation of making something fade away does not correspond to the real world. We do not consume; we transform. Products are a linear concept with an origin and an end. Materials and waste do not disappear, and one way or another, come back to us. For example, pollution was already killing nine million people worldwide in 2019, and microplastics have recently been found in human blood.
The concept of a circular economy takes into account this reality by changing the current production system to another that makes a more efficient use of resources a ..read more
