Cultural Understanding of Soils
Cultural understandings of soil are diverse and often ambiguous. Cultural framing of soils is common worldwide and is highly consequential. The implications of what place the earth has in people's world view and everyday life can be in line with or in conflict with natural conditions, with scientific views, or with agricultural practices.

Global Soil Proverbs
Proverbs are truths that link one generation to another. They h ave been passed down through millennia to provide advice about how to live life.
