Why it is important to use land very carefully

Answer 1

Our soil is a non-renewable resource. It takes thousands of years for rocks to weather into soils, and hundreds of years for rich organic matter to build up. Our welfare depends, to a large extent, on our soil and climate. Entire civilisations can rise and fall depending on their soil quality.

This means that making the best use of our land and soils is very important for our well being and survival. To use our land wisely we have to understand soil.
