The fertile soils in which our food thrives are threatened. Not only is arable land being sealed for road construction and settlements, but the nutrient-rich humus layer in the fields is also dwindling.

Democracy is also weakened when rural areas change so much and more and more farmers are on the brink of going out of business.
