About 95% of the food we consume is dependent on healthy soils, but approximately 52% of the world’s agricultural land has already been degraded.

The World Bank estimates that about 37.7 percent of the world’s total land area was considered agricultural land, while approximately 10.6 percent was considered arable (suitable for growing crops).

If we continue with our current agricultural policies, about 90% of all the Earth's soils will be degraded by 2050.

Those are mass starvation numbers.
