How are soils connected to climate change? And why do our actions influence the ground beneath our feet? This guided tour begins in the KEEP IT CO₂OL exhibition at focusTerra, where impressive soil monoliths reveal how agriculture and forestry have degraded soils over time.

As you continue through the exhibition, you will discover how human activities and the climate have shaped soils. Learn how soil erosion, degradation and sustainable land management affect ecosystems, food production and our future.

The tour also presents and highlights ongoing research on regenerative agricultural practices. Discover how scientists work with farmers and other partners to develop solutions for healthier soils and more sustainable agriculture.

Join us to explore the hidden stories beneath our feet and discover why healthy soils are essential for tackling some of today’s biggest environmental challenges.
