dirt! The Movie takes you inside Earth’s most valuable and under-appreciated resource, from its miraculous beginning to its crippling degradation. In modern industrial pursuits our human connection to and respect for soil has been disrupted. Drought, climate change, even war are all directly related to the way we are treating dirt. When humans arrived 2 million years ago, everything changed for dirt. And from that moment on, the fate of dirt and humans has been intimately linked. The only remedy for disconnecting people from the natural world is connecting them to it again. What we’ve destroyed, we can heal. dirt! is a call to action.
Speaking for the Earth’s dirt! will be Michel Cavigelli, PhD., soil scientist and researcher of sustainable farming practices at USDA.
