Soil Depletion and the Climate

The ability of our atmosphere to maintain a livable climate depends on the soil and the plants that grow in it. Diana Donlon talks with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick about the damage we are doing to both climate and soil and how better management of the soil could help greatly to stem the tide of global warming. 

Diana Donlon is Center for Food Safety's Food and Climate Campaign Director where she leads Soil Solutions – CFS's program communicating the critical importance of rebuilding soil health for food security, fresh water availability, and climate stability. Soil Solutions to Climate Problems, a four-minute film she produced, was screened in the Blue Zone at the 2015 UN Climate Conference in Paris.
