soil preservation is the prevention of soil from erosion or reduced fertility caused by overuse, acidification, salinization or other unsustainable method of subsistence farming farming are practiced in some lesser developed areas.

a sequel to the deforestation is typically larger scale erosion, loss of soil nutrients and sometimes total desertification.

 

Soil health is fundamental for a healthy food production. It provides essential nutrients, water, oxygen and support to the roots, all elements that favors the growth and development of plants for food production. The soil hosts a big community of diverse organisms that improve the structure of the soil, recycle essential nutrients, helps to control weeds, plant pests and diseases. 

Another important aspect is that when soil is healthy, it contributes to mitigate climate change by keeping or increasing soil organic carbon. Soil is the basis of food systems as well as the place where all plants for food production grow. For that reason it is extremely important to preserve soils and to start a global cultural movement which returns to soils the primary importance that they deserve.
