Legarda Calls for Greater Action to Stop Soil Degradation

In observance of the World Soil Day (December 5), Senator Loren Legarda stressed the need for collective action on sustainable land use and protection of soil, a nearly forgotten resource, to halt and reverse land degradation.

“This celebration is not only an excellent opportunity to highlight the importance of soil but also serves as a warning for all of us that soil degradation is a rapidly increasing problem all over the world,” said Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Climate Change.
