What is this course about?
This course is primarily about the amazing potential of healthy Soil and how this relates to our own health and the rest of Nature.
It begins with an introduction to relationality and how stories matter in relation with Soil. Throughout the course, you are invited to try out different practices related to this. Then we venture into the microscopic and why soil microorganisms are key players in soil health. From here we look at some issues related to mainstream agriculture and gardening methods, and why these methods not only deplete Soil, but create more of the problems they’re trying to address. We explore other ways of growing food, and look at four key principles for encouraging healthy Soil. Finally, we look at ways to bring soil health into our daily lives, as gardeners, consumers and fellow people.
Is this course for you?
This course is for you if you’re curious about Soil and why it matters, you want to make more intentional choices as a consumer or gardener or you want to understand how nutrition, climate, and microorganisms are all inter-connected. This course is not a step-by-step gardening course. Rather, it aims to make a wide range of practices accessible as tools to apply in different contexts.
Why we’ve created this course
The course is not a step-by-step guide or a set of rules, but rather an invitation to get more involved, with the food we consume, the Soil that co-creates it, and the planet we all call home.
The focus of the course is Soil, but it is foremost about relationships, invisible ones that matter enormously, personal ones that can expand our own experience, and our relationship with the rest of Nature, both individually and collectively.
So much in our modern world disconnects us from the natural systems that we are inherently a part of, including the food we eat. Many of us face a daily conflict of living in and being part of structures that directly inflict ongoing harm towards others now, and towards future generations. In this course we look at some ways of re-connecting and valuing the complex systems that are well-established and offer a multitude of co-benefits, while also exploring ways in which we can participate in intentional ways forward.
Our modern global food systems carry costs beyond the visible price-tag, from conflict and inequity to depletion of planetary resources, unethical production methods and chronic diseases. We need to put good food back on the table, food that’s been produced with compassion, for ourselves, our fellow human and more-than-human beings, and for the future. Food that nourishes.
We hope that this course can contribute to a collective conversation about change, involving many narratives and embracing complexity and the deep unknown.
