Soil is more than just the ground beneath our feet; it’s a cornerstone of life on Earth. Home to over a quarter of the planet’s biodiversity, it serves as the largest natural water filter and one of the most vital carbon storage systems. Healthy soil forms the bedrock of thriving ecosystems and productive food systems, yet its importance is often overlooked.

In the first episode of FOODSCAPES, this Danish-language podcast turns its focus to soil, agriculture, and rural landscapes. The panel examines the promise of regenerative agriculture—a revolutionary farming approach touted as a solution to reverse soil degradation while significantly boosting carbon sequestration. The conversation invites listeners to look a few centimeters beneath their feet and discover the hidden potential of healthy soil.
