Soil is a mixture of assorted rock powders, fragments, and dust, along with organic matter such as decaying leaves, etc. Soil is necessary for most forms of agriculture, without which the human race could not feed itself. Hydroponics is a alternative that does not require soil, however, it is not economically feasible to switch to an all hydroponic system of food production.
