Soil degradation can have lasting impacts on a country’s economy and its citizens. Read this resource discussing the effects of poor soil quality in Haiti, and answer the following questions. Why do Haitian farmers use the phrase “the earth is tired”?

SarahK14:

Because we get most of our food from planets and in order to do that the ground needs to be able to process the planet with the soil.

BrockTheRock:

Haiti gets most of its diet from the rice that they grow, and because of soil degradation (which is the overuse, or mismanagement of soil), there is an agricultural crisis going on. They use this phrase to show the state of their soil.

BrockTheRock:

The earth is tired because of soil degradation.
