A glocal movement for soil regeneration

The project

SoilTribes aims at establishing, activating, and empowering glocal ecosystems for soil values, roles, and connectivity through “back to Earth” narratives by bridging science, technology, arts, and community-driven action. Through knowledge-sharing, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community-driven initiatives, the project’s mission is to foster a systemic, glocal approach to soil restoration, ensuring its long-term sustainability as a fundamental resource for future generations.

Soil: A vital yet threatened resource

Healthy soils matter
