Soilspective

Beneath the surface

Starting in September 2026, Soilspective: Beneath the Surface brings soil into conversation with the world around us.

Across 20 episodes, the SoilTribes vidcast series explores soil through different perspectives, connecting science, art, culture, food, communities, environmental action, and innovation. Through conversations with researchers, artists, practitioners, activists, and community voices, Soilspective looks beneath the surface to uncover the role soil plays in our ecosystems, cultures, economies, and everyday lives.

The first episodes take audiences from storytelling and land stewardship to food traditions, soil literacy, agroforestry, composting, biodiversity, climate resilience, art, youth action, farmer engagement, and the future of farming.

How can storytelling strengthen our connection with the land? What can traditional food knowledge teach us about soil? How does compost contribute to regeneration? What role can art play in changing the way we see the earth beneath our feet? And how can farmers, young people, researchers, and communities work together for healthier soils?

Each conversation opens a different window into these questions.

The series makes soil knowledge more accessible while showing that soil health is connected to much more than what happens underground. It is connected to biodiversity, climate resilience, food systems, well-being, culture, creativity, community, and collective action.

New episodes every Tuesday. Watch them all on our YouTube channel.
