The soil we live on
Exhibition, talks, lecture
24.8. – 19.10.18, exhibition Fridays from 17-20h
The outer layer of the earth of our planet is sealed by asphalt and concrete, damaged by soil erosion. Synthetic fertilizer is drug for the soil. The humus is washed away by industrial agriculture. Soil loses water holding capacity, filtering function, biodiversity. A global problem. This is the soil from which we live.
Water channel in which humus drains off, C Tom Albrecht
