The Inaugural Issue / Soil

Illustrations by Lotte Verstapen

The inaugural issue focuses on Soil – a matter that is the foundation to growing nourishing food. Soil is not only biophysical; it is also social, and so we explore it – from tidbits on soil science and history, to personal journeys in composting, essays on our relationships with soil, an article on growing method, and interviews with farmers on their regenerative practices; this labour of love took a village in the making to complete, with beautiful illustrations and layout design.

This 92-page full colour, one-of-a-kind journal-zine is printed on 100% recycled paper.
