Cultivating Connections

United Kingdom

About

Soil literacy, regenerative agriculture, creative engagement, and youth participation.

Cultivating Connections is a 12-month initiative led by Zerodig Farms in Stroud, United Kingdom, with global youth outreach through the I Am Soil campaign. It brings together regenerative farming, creative arts, and youth engagement to deepen understanding of soil health. Zerodig’s Incubator Farm serves as a living laboratory, SVA leads creative workshops and exhibitions, and Curriculum for Life coordinates global creative submissions from young people. The project plans training, open studios, exhibitions, and an open toolkit to connect practical soil regeneration with cultural engagement.
