European and British soils seriously degraded by intensive farming

79% Informative
More than 60% of EU ’s agricultural soils are degraded due to intensive agriculture.
Similar damage to about 40% of British soils, according to Save Soil report.
Impoverished soils are incapable of holding water in any quantity, so that when it rains, the water tends to run off them, worsening flooding.
Healthy soils store more carbon, helping to offset the impact of fossil fuels.
