In a recent conversation with Charles Smith, CEO & Co-Founder of IMIO, we delved into agriculture’s urgent and complex issues today. From the alarming rate of soil degradation to the innovative use of microbes, Smith’s insights provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Soil Degradation: A Crisis in the Making
“Soil degradation due to chemical inputs” is a crisis that affects us all. Smith paints a grim picture, stating that the economic loss in the U.S. could be “as high as $33 billion annually.” But beyond the financial toll, soil degradation threatens our way of life. Smith says, “What used to be some of the best soil in the world is now blowing away.” This issue sets the stage for a broader conversation about sustainable solutions.
