Why Does Supporting Farmers Who Care About Soil Conservation Matter?

Most of us take dirt for granted. But we forget that our health and our very survival begins with it. Without it, we have no food. Modern farming methods have destroyed a significant amount of the topsoil in the US, and we continue to lose it at a rate of 1% per year. Some areas in the US have lost 60% of their farmland since just the 1960's. That is a catastrophic rate of loss and it can't be sustained. If it continues, our food will become more scarce and more expensive. Actually, I'm sure you've noticed it already is getting more expensive... Thankfully, a growing number of small family farmers, like the organic growers at Abundant Harvest Organics, care about stewarding their soil for us and the coming generations.
