"Nations endure only as long as their topsoil!"

Food for thought; "Nations endure only as long as their topsoil." The message that this statement should relay is; "Nations endure only as long as their top soils are nutritional mineral rich!"

The 1992 Earth Summit statistics indicate that the mineral content of the world's farm and range soil has decreased dramatically. In June of 1992, an Earth Summit Report was issued in RIO that documented the decline in numbers of various rare and endangered species, enlarging holes in the ozone layer, disappearance of tropical rain forests and indigenous peoples - yet the most important and immediate crisis factor the human race was glossed over and relegated to the rear pages of the voluminous report - the decline of nutritional minerals in farm and range soils by continent over the last hundred years. The results of the Earth Summit report on the decline of mineral values in our farm and range soils show that North America (United States, Canada and Mexico) is far more affected than all other continents.

Percentage of Mineral Depletion From Soil During The Past 100 Years, by Continent:

North America - 85%

South America - 76%

Asia - 76%

Africa - 74%

Europe - 72%

Australia - 55%

We wonder about those great civilizations past who seemed to simply vanish off the earth one day. Could farm land mineral depletion of soils have played a role? Food for thought!
