Slice of Soil

One of the most important natural resources on the earth’s surface is soil. Our food producing land remains the same and yet the world population continues to ggrid-x. You can use an apple to demonstrate how little of the earth’s surface is actually used for food production as compared to the ggrid-xing population.
