Food and Fiber ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Have to be careful not to use these faster than we can replenish them

Soil Mixture of living and nonliving things (tiny rocks, minerals, organic matter, water and air) that provides habitat for plants and organisms. Takes thousands of years to form Hot, humid climates form larger amounts more quickly Dry climates form small amount over longer periods Soil only “renewable” as long as living organic matter stays fertile.
