Complexity of solving soil issues

In my hometown a bridge shall be whidened, so that in case of war, tanks can pass. This leads to massive deforestation and soil sealing, among other problems. I feel the main problem is, that in decision makeing, nature and with that soil, always comes second. The political pressure leads to non-sustainable decisions.


Solidarity agriculture as a distribution to soil governance

I see supporting a solidarity agriculture for vegetables by financial means or physical labour as a meaningfull and possible contribution for me. With working fulltime in a different field, a financial support would be the easiest for me to also contribute to political chance through supporting structures that view soil form a more complex point of view. Additionally, I would love to work on the fields myself to contribute to the work of the agriculture and learn more about soil and cropfarming. 


Module 1/ Favorite Item

Hello everyone :) In module 1, I was asked to share my favorite item in my room with you in this forum. Is this the right forum?

I love my vintage 1900s wooden table, that a friend of mine picket up from a fleamarket years ago. This table is made from walnut wood. It has been on this earth longer than all of us & will porabably survive all of us. I feel like I borrowed it from our soils and it has a soul to it.

Unfortunately the upload is not working - otherwise I would have shared a picture of my green backyard in the middle of the city.
