Healthy soils are the lifeblood of our planet, teeming with microbial activity that forms the foundation of a robust soil food web. This presentation delves into the intricate relationship between soil health, plant nutrition, and human health, emphasizing the crucial role of the soil food web. By exploring the diverse community of organisms within the soil, we will uncover how they contribute to nutrient cycling, soil structure, and plant resilience. Our journey then will discuss the impact of soil health on the nutritional quality of crops and the subsequent benefits for human health. Ultimately, this presentation aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for the vital role of soil health in sustaining our planet and promoting human well-being.
