🌱 World Soil Day: Celebrating the foundation of life Healthy soils are essential for sustaining life on Earth. They support biodiversity, provide the nutrients that nourish our food systems, and play a vital role in combating climate change. At responsAbility, we are proud to collaborate with portfolio companies like Beneficiadora San Agustin (BSA) in Bolivia. Through the responsible harvesting of Brazil nuts, BSA not only strengthens the Amazon's biodiversity but also fosters sustainable economic growth and empowers local communities. The impact of Brazil nut trees extends deep into the soil. Their role in stabilizing soils, replenishing it with nutrients, and preventing its erosion exemplifies how thoughtful business practices can nurture ecosystems and communities alike. #WorldSoilDay #Sustainability #ImpactInvesting #SoilHealth #AmazonConservation
