What if the solution to climate change, food security, and ecosystem collapse has been beneath our feet all along? In this powerful talk, we explore how soil—often overlooked and mistreated—holds the key to our future. Through the real-life stories of farmers in the US and UK, we see how restoring soil can reverse environmental damage, build climate resilience, and grow healthier food. This talk offers not just a warning, but a hopeful call to action—for farmers, citizens, and policymakers alike. The answer isn’t new. The answer is soil. Chris Huskins is a Certified Soil Scientist and experienced grower at two Hampshire-based market gardens. As Head Grower and Director of Hampshire Market Garden CiC, he champions soil health as the key to tackling climate change and ensuring food security. Combining scientific expertise with practical growing experience, Chris promotes regenerative practices that restore soil biodiversity and build resilient food systems. His vision is to inspire communities and stakeholders to embrace regenerative agriculture, proving that healthy soil is the solution for both productive farming and a sustainable future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
