SOIL: Rewilding the Underground //Part 1: The Story of Soil

Hello, and welcome to Farmerama. Today, we’re sharing an episode from our friends in Australia. SOIL: Rewilding the Underground is a 6-part documentary podcast that follows the farmers, scientists, Indigenous custodians and communities who are turning degraded dirt back into living soil. We’re sharing episode one, which traces our relationship with soil over millennia, to understand how humanity impacts the living, breathing universe of soil hidden beneath our feet, and the role that we play in their ecosystems. The series is told by Freya Mulvey, a lawyer and environmental enthusiast, so it’s a slightly different and wider ranging perspective on soil than we usually cover on Farmerama - we think you’ll really enjoy it. If you do, go ahead and listen to the rest of the six-part series, and stay up to date with the amazing work that Jess and Freya are doing by following them on socials, adding your voice to their impact survey, or checking out the resources on their website - links below. As for Farmerama, we recently celebrated our 10th birthday! Thanks to all of you who’ve tuned in over this time - it’s a real privilege that we get to share the voices, knowledge and practical learnings of people on the land and seas and as ever we are so grateful for all of you out there doing the work on the ground to build a more ecological farming future for us all. For those of you in the UK, we will be at Groundswell on the 1st and 2nd of July, and will be hosting evening drinks on July 1st, where we will hear from some Cereal Revisited contributors as well as more celebrating a decade of storytelling with Farmerama listeners. Keep your eyes out for us in the Groundswell Programme! And stay tuned as we release our Summer season of episodes starting next month Enjoy episode one of SOIL: Rewilding the Underground.
