Symphony of the Soil
Drawing
from ancient knowledge and cutting edge science, Symphony of the Soil
is an artistic exploration of the miraculous substance soil. By
understanding the elaborate relationships and mutuality between soil,
water, the atmosphere, plants and animals, we come to appreciate the
complex and dynamic nature of this precious resource. The film also
examines our human relationship with soil, the use and misuse of soil in
agriculture, deforestation and development, and the latest scientific
research on soil's key role in ameliorating the most challenging
environmental issues of our time. Filmed on four continents, featuring
esteemed scientists and working farmers and ranchers, Symphony of the
Soil is an intriguing presentation that highlights possibilities of
healthy soil creating healthy plants creating healthy humans on a
healthy planet.
