Soil activations

Projects in the soil network,Inspirations for how soil and gardens build community.

From 2015-2018, our network’s work in different areas has shown us one thing: that the way to a vibrant, living community is not only through food, but through growing green sprouts. Growing something with one’s own hands is a special experience, and when it’s done with others, true bridges to diversity develop. 

We can build bio-diversity with different soil communities.

The Sauce magazine

The Sauce – on food, community and inspiration is an independently published magazine by Foodscape Pages. The magazine gathers the voices of communities working on the ground regarding food system related issues. This inaugural issue focuses on soil as a foundation: for growing nourishing food, for mitigating climate change, for healing of self and communities, and for reconnecting our elemental source of nourishment with Mother Nature.
