OUR SOIL, OUR FUTURE

Together for soil and climate

Our soil is suffering. Already today, 33% of our soils are degraded - with every year loosing up to 10 million more hectares of healthy soil. An area comparable to the size of Austria. With the loss of healthy soil, our food security, biodiversity and climate change mitigation, among other things, are drastically at risk.Soil, just like our skin, is a living, breathing ecosystem. It is the living skin of our Earth. At Weleda we believe both, soil and skin are worth protecting and caring for. Since 1921 we have been growing the plants used to make our iconic products using soil-friendly methods. We keep soil healthy and make it as biodiverse as possible by working with biodynamic farming principles and collaborating with regenerative farming projects around the world. Healthy soil is key to thriving ecosystems. Without it we cannot tackle the crisis nature faces today.

Together, making global transformation a reality today

In 2022, Weleda supported an additional 20 sustainable soil projects with a total of €350,000 to take action against the global soil crisis.

Australia - Guiding the way towards regenerative agriculture

We have been able to support the Australian organisation Carbon8 in accompanying farmers in their transition to regenerative agriculture, helping to kick-start soil conservation on a farm area of approximately 35,000 ha.

South Korea - Pop-Up Store and Mindful Gardening Festival

Through our own pop-up store in one of Seoul's most popular neighbourhoods and participation in the Mindful Gardening Festival, we have promoted public awareness of soil, its functions, and its protection.

France - Community Gardens in Paris

Together with the association La Sauge, we have been able to reconnect city dwellers with nature: Urban farms bring together local residents to garden together and drive the agro-ecological transformation of tomorrow - including the 4500 m² "Terre-Terre" farm.

"According to forecasts, 90% of soils will be affected by progressive soil erosion by 2050 if we do not take immediate action."

What can we do to help?

                                                Soil, just like our skin, has a microbiome
                                            
                                                One teaspoon of soil can hold more organisms than there are people on the planet
                                            
                                                50% of CO2 is bound in our soils. They are the largest CO2 reservoirs after the oceans
                                            
                                                Every minute, 23 hectares of arable land are lost globally to drought and desertification
                                            
                                                It can take up to 2,000 years for ten centimetres of soil to emerge naturally
