Summer of Soil is a Swedish event set to inspire a movement to save our soils.

‘Being the Soil Association we’re pretty biased when it comes to the importance of soil, but with over 90% of our food coming from soil and 10 million hectares of fertile soil being lost each year, it’s a topic that can’t afford to be ignored any longer. Farming has a huge impact on the health of our soils and we think one of the keys to saving them can be found in organic food and farming systems.

Watch this space for our own campaign highlighting the vital role soil plays in our world; in the meantime, enjoy this inspirational video from the Summer of Soil‘
