從提供營養給我們的食物，到儲存大量的碳，土壤中滿是多樣性的微生物，有可能可以減緩全球暖化。氣候變遷科學家珍‧澤里科瓦呼籲大家採用能保護地球土壤的農業做法，種植能適應氣候的作物，且不要去亂弄微生物。她說：「土壤是地球生命的基礎，我們能吃的原因，以及等著被解鎖的氣候解決方案。」

土壤不為人知的驚人之處

Soil is home to a vast hidden world, containing more diversity than a tropical rainforest and storing two to three times more carbon than the atmosphere. Billions of microbes in each teaspoon of soil break down plant matter, sequestering carbon for decades or even millennia. Modern agriculture has stripped billions of tons of carbon from soil, threatening food security and climate stability. Protecting and rebuilding healthy, carbon-rich soil offers powerful benefits for farmers, the planet, and everyone who eats.
