Module 1 establishes the foundation for soil literacy, positioning soil not merely as a resource, but as the 'living skin of the Earth.' We explore soil’s vital connection to the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, and examine the five factors of soil formation defined by Vasily Dokuchaev. Beyond the science, this module delves into the urgent reality of soil degradation in Europe and the three critical pathways to healing: prevention, mitigation, and restoration. Finally, we bridge the gap between distinct knowledge systems—weaving together scientific, traditional agricultural, and Indigenous wisdom to create a holistic understanding of our ground.
