How can soil research participate in fixing the world, not just commenting on what is broken? In this podcast lnkd.in/d8XcjsWN, I argue that to improve soil health, we need to partner with farmers' movements, such as #regenag. Tune in for a discussion on #soilhealth and farming, happy listening!

What will you give up for the climate today? The idea of environmental sacrifice is a cliche of environmentalism. Why does it not work? With Caroline McCalman we argue that what makes an act of 'giving up' a sacrifice is 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆

Last week I spoke about #transdisciplinarity at #MissionSoilWeek (lnkd.in/diahuCau). I'm worried by the low social science/humanities literacy in the coming #soil projects. We need to move from tinkering with human-soils relations to TRANSFORMATION; that needs social sciences, humanities & the arts.
