MAGRICA

working towards contributing to United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal

As more than 95% of the food is directly or indirectly linked to soil (source: FAO, 2015), one must consider that in order to achieve zero hunger goal, it is imperative that we take good care of soil health. Sources estimate, more than 10 million hectares of previously fertile land have become unsuited for agriculture due to soil degradation (e.g., erosion), often as a result of mismanagement.

Humans are intricately tied to soil. 95% of food and 99.9 % of our fresh drinking water passes through soil. In spite of the connections, many of us fail to consider the importance of preserving soil’s health for generations to come. If we want to reduce global hunger, a healthy soil environment is crucial. Soil is a highly valuable and a non-renewable resource.

Goals

GOAL 2: ZERO HUNGER UN targets to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture by 2030. To contribute towards this target, MAGRICA provides soil pH correction solutions which will help in enhancing agricultural productivity and quality with less use of synthetic fertilizers. This will not only increase farmer’s income but also move towards the goal of global food security.

GOAL 13: CLIMATE ACTION Agriculture is now at a crossroad, between meeting the needs of an ever-growing world population and protecting the environment. So, now it is time to drive sustainable agriculture and soil management as a means of advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In line with UN’s efforts to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts, MAGRICA offers natural mineral based organic products that not only ensures sustainability of soil but also improves agricultural productivity.

GOAL 15: LIFE ON LAND Today we are seeing unprecedented land degradation, and the loss of arable land at 30 to 35 times the historical rate. Drought and desertification are also on rise each year. SDG 15 (Life on Land) aims to conserve and restore the use of terrestrial ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, drylands and mountains. Promoting sustainable management of forests and halting deforestations is also vital to mitigating the impact of climate change. MAGRICA soil amendment products play a vital role in addressing this challenge by achieving soil restoration and improving degraded agricultural lands due to acidity.
