Virtual talk: soil with Matthew Evans 2021

Matthew Evans joins the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts to tell the incredible story of what keeps the earth, and us, healthy.

For too long, we've not only neglected the land beneath us, we've squandered and debased it, by over clearing, over grazing and over ploughing. But if we want our food to nourish us, and to ensure our planet's long term health, we need to understand how soil works how it's made, how it's lost, and how it can be repaired.

In this talk, commentator and farmer Matthew Evans will explain that what we do in our backyards, on our farms, and what we put on our dinner tables really matters, and can be a source of hope.

Isn't it time we stopped treating the ground beneath our feet like dirt?
