The Future of Soil Report

Soil is no longer just a sustainability issue – it’s becoming one of the most strategic assets for food, agriculture, climate, and business. Once overlooked, soil is now recognised as critical infrastructure: it underpins ecosystems, drives resilience, and opens new opportunities for innovation and growth.

The risks of inaction are stark. Every year, land degradation spreads by an area the size of France and Germany combined, contributing to economic losses projected to reach $23 trillion by 2050. This is not only an environmental emergency but also a profound economic and social challenge that will reshape industries, markets, and nations.

Our report reframes the soil crisis as a catalyst for change and highlights how businesses and policymakers can take decisive action – restoring ecosystems, building resilience, and capturing value in an era of volatility.
