Threatened resource: Witzenhausen conference on soil protection

Fertile soils form the basis of our food supply. However, they are increasingly coming under pressure and are in danger of no longer fulfilling their function as a nutrient and water reservoir and of eroding. The 26th Witzenhausen Conference discusses under the motto "The last dirt?!" Soil protection in policy and practice.
