SOIL: Rewilding the Underground is an independent six-part documentary told by the farmers, First Nations custodians, scientists and communities who are turning dirt degraded back into living soil and safeguarding our planetary future. It is a journey into the upper layer of the Earth, the source of our food, home to the most biodiverse ecosystem on our planet, and a crucial part of the carbon cycle that regulates our climate, and the temperature of Earth’s atmosphere.

Presenting 'Cereal', Episode 1: Flour, water, salt
Bread. How did something so basic, so fundamental, get so complicated – and even start making us ill? This is the question that underpins ‘Cereal’, an investigative series from our friends at Farmerama Radio that uncovers the polarised world of bread, and its connection to seeds, soil, our health and food systems.
We’re excited to share the first episode ‘Flour, Water, Salt’ in SOIL’s podcast feed this week, partly because it offers a deeper dive into the story of soil, but also to celebrate the launch of ‘Cereal Revisited’, a podcast, impact report and sound map documenting the real-world changes this podcast series has inspired six years on.
Head to Farmerama’s podcast channel (https://pod.link/1031542491) to listen to the rest of this important series, and to hear ‘Cereal Revisited’. Find out more and contribute to the sound map at farmerama.co/cereal-revisited (http://farmerama.co/cereal-revisited), or via their socials @farmerama_radio (https://www.instagram.com/farmerama_radio/).
