The food we eat consists of MACRONUTRIENTS (Carbohydrates, Proteins and lipids) and MICRONUTRIENTS (vitamins and minerals).

MACRONUTRIENTS supply us with energy.

Carbohydrates
Proteins
Lipids

Infographic

MICRONUTRIENTS
they help our body break down the macronutrients so that you can use the energy.
They are:

Vitamins
Mineral

Water-Soluble vitamins play an important role in producing energy.

B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12, C

Fat-Soluble Vitamins

A, D, E K

Macrominerals have different functions for a healthy body.

Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sodium, Chloride, Potassium, Sulfur

Trace Minerals enable important functions in the body.

Iron, Manganese, Copper, Zinc, Iodine, Fluoride, Selenium

25% of water
25% of air (gases)

Soil is a complex body composed of five major components

Mineral matter obtained by the disintegration and decomposition of rocks;
Organic matter, obtained by the decay of plant residues, animal remains and microbial tissues;
Organisms, both big (worms, insects) and small (microbes)
Water, obtained from the atmosphere and the reactions in soil (chemical, physical and microbial);
Air or gas, from the atmosphere, reactions of roots, microbes and chemicals in the soil

SOIL IS

1) USED TO PRODUCE BIOMASS

2) USED TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND PRODUCE FOOD AND WATER
