A Lovely Week of Training!

The Soil4life Project, a lovely week of training! by Amelie de la Rocha (participant, Belgium)

Lately, I have been very curious about soil, and the lack of information and communication we have in Belgium around it. So, when I read on a friend's facebook post about this training week, I subscribed with no doubt! First, the location was breath taking, located at the beginning of the Alps mountains. The training in itself was pretty broad, covering lots of different topics. The focus was on theoretical and practical solutions for soil regeneration. Besides, we received also information on the situation of soil in Europe and the legislation. This lead us to write a first draft for a manifesto on soil protection that should be further developed to be finally presented at the UNESCO. The whole process was not only very rich & informative but also very fun with lots of talks and sharing experiences. It was very hard to stay on schedule, with all the questions and interest we had! The positivity & caring of the trainees, trainers & also host site brought me lots of courage and gratitude to keep on going as change maker.
Now that I am back, I am planning to implement a compost workshop, to share this new knowledge and rise awareness about the beauty of soil in my hometown.

Regenerating soil AND growing food

The land where I live has been exploited and badly damaged over many decades. The most noticeable impact is caused by the huge Eucalyptus and abundant Wattle that are overcrowding the area, dehydrating the soil, blocking the sunlight and limiting biodiversity. These plants were brought here for the vast monoculture plantations that surround us- as a replacement for the indigenous old-grow woods when they became highly endangered due to over harvesting and deforestation. Eucalyptus, Pine and Wattle are not from this country nor region, and our local flora and fauna cannot thrive here- they create a very limited ecosystem and wreak havoc on the natural ecosystem services that our unique endemic forests provide. But, with the right tools and resources, they can become a blessing! With a chainsaw and a chipper, we are able to turn biomass into compost which we use in our indigenous tree nursery, in our food gardens and in our agroforestry systems to improve the soil. While clea...

The Soil4Life Manifesto

We, as part of the ecosystem, understand ourselves as guardians of the soil... The 5th of December 2019 is International Soil Day, and marked the launch of the Soil4Life Manifesto first draft. The manifesto begins: We, as part of the ecosystem, understand ourselves as guardians of the soil. Healthy, living soil is essential for life to thrive. In recent human history quality and care of soil has been largely ignored and misunderstood. The vital role that healthy soils play in our ecosystems needs to be recognised, protected and restored... We would like to hear and include the voices and concerns of all people affected by this serious and sensitive subject. The Soil4Life manifesto was first drafted on October 17th, 2019 during an international soil management training, as part of the bigger Soil4Life project and CCIVS for Climate Justice. CCIVS and Legambiente partnered with other organisations to make this possib...

Life functions are being threatened by exploitation, short term thinking, and a worldview that values economic and financial growth over the continuity of life and living systems. The complex, interconnected systems through which life on our planet has been able to flourish and grow over millennia have been misunderstood, misrepresented and ill treated for too long. We, as humans, have attempted to detach ourselves from the web of life. We have created a hierarchical worldview and placed our species at the top, instead of playing an integrated part in its life processes. This attitude and behaviour is destro...
