World Soil Day

Today is World Soils Day.

Did you know: 

• There are over a billion microorganisms in a teaspoon of soil?

• Healthy soil can sequester excess carbon, mitigating climate change?

• Soil is the food for our food. The healthier the soil, the more nutritious our food?

• Healthy soil retains more water?

This next year, you’ll see new products from Bumbleroot that feature ingredients and farmers and ranchers who are improving soil through regenerative practices. We can’t wait to bring you their stories and these new products.

And if you want to learn more about why we think soil is so exciting, here are some of our favorite resources and organizations.
