That is why one man is travelling the South to share the importance of healthy soil. Save Soil volunteer Taro Joy, of Christchurch, said he was travelling between cities in his caravan and talking to as many people as he could about soil. Organic content in soil had gone down across the world, which led to a range of issues such as lower nutritional value in food and irrigation taking longer. He did not want to overplan and would simply focus on speaking to as many people as he could. Mr Joy said that although it was smaller in scale, his journey here was a way of spreading the message within his means.
