Description
In this episode, Aditi unpacks the language that come to shape our perception of soil and shares how Living Soil Asia aims to build and renew our connection to soil through its education programmes. Likening soil to a sourdough starter, Aditi reveals how the life that exist within our soil, or soil microbiology, forms the basis of a healthy food system. Han Jing also discusses the often-overlooked aspects of soil when it comes to growing food and the need for soil regeneration in urban Singapore. Climate change is connected to broader social determinants of health, and Aditi and Han Jing speaks to the interconnected of soil to everything around us. How does the health of our soil mirror the health of our communities? What do we lose when we lose touch with the soil, and how do we regenerate our soil in our ‘concrete jungle’? Listen on and reimagine our soil story with us.
