| Video Discription | Soil is connected to almost all aspects of our lives, yet we often take it for granted. To mark the International Day of Soil on December 5, we interviewed several project managers at the European Environment Agency (EEA) about this precious resource. The UN has declared 2015 the Year of Soils, to raise increase awareness and understanding of the importance of soil, for both food security and essential ecosystem functions. The EEA will also look at soil as one of several priority areas next year.
