Symphony of the Soil trailer
“Symphony of the Soil is a 104-minute documentary feature film that explores the complexity and mystery of soil. Filmed on four continents and sharing the voices of some of the world’s most esteemed soil scientists, farmers and activists, the film portrays soil as a protagonist of our planetary story. Using a captivating mix of art and science, the film shows that soil is a complex living organism, the foundation of life on earth.”
John Payne‘s insight:
How does this relate to robotics? Technologies imply practices, and farming practices bear directly on soil health. Investment must move from technologies which imply destructive practices to technologies which support sustainable practices.
