During the introductory workshop, the 40 young participants began their journey by analyzing the landscape and the impact of monocultures, and discovered how these changes have been represented in historical paintings. Our discovery of living food systems started with a focus on the importance of soil: we learned how healthy soil equals living soil, and its essential role for ecosystems and food production systems.

In the forest, we observed the different layers of soil and created natural colors to illustrate our understanding of ecosystems. Our program consists of three workshops and six educational outings, which will allow us to compare the natural forest soil with soil altered by industrial farming. This will help us understand the benefits of regenerative soil practices in agroecological agriculture. We will study soils, plants, and roots, and use artistic tools to develop our vision of human-nature coexistence.
