Human relationships with lands and soils are deep and complex, sometimes based on listening and reciprocity, sometimes scarred by exploitation and toxicity. From colonization, war, and industrial agriculture, to reciprocity, stewardship, and respect; from minute microbial life to vast landscapes: lands and soils reflect choices to live in unity with, or in subjugation of the natural world.
We are interested in stories of land and soils and visions of the future, both ecological and cultural.
