Mission:
At SOIL (Save Our Incredible Landscape), our mission is to ignite a nationwide movement of conscious awareness among Australian citizens about the urgent state of our landscape. We strive to educate and empower individuals to become stewards of our precious natural resources, advocating for sustainable practices that preserve and rejuvenate our environment for generations to come.
Purpose:
SOIL stands for more than just an acronym; it embodies our commitment to preserving the very essence of Australia's landscape. Our purpose is clear: to inspire action and foster a community dedicated to the preservation and restoration of our incredible natural heritage. Through education, advocacy, and collaboration, we aim to catalyze a collective effort to safeguard the beauty and biodiversity of our land.
Cultivating Collaboration: Uniting Land Stewards for Sustainable Solutions
We firmly believe that every landowner, farmer, and even individuals cultivating plants at home, whether in a backyard garden or on a balcony, have invaluable knowledge to contribute to our collective understanding of sustainable practices. It's not about adhering to a single methodology or approach, but rather about embracing diversity and learning from both Mother Nature and each other. By sharing experiences, insights, and best practices, we can cultivate a culture of collaboration and innovation. Together, we can make informed, evidence-based choices that not only benefit our own land but also contribute to the broader landscape of sustainability. This collaborative spirit encourages us to explore new methods, incorporate diverse plant species, and adapt our practices to better support the health of our environment and communities. Additionally, we actively support individuals and organizations offering training in both land health and physical health, recognizing the interconnectedness of these domains in fostering holistic well-being and sustainable living.
Aim:
Our aim is simple yet profound: to awaken a sense of responsibility and urgency within every individual to take tangible steps towards saving our landscape. We strive to inspire and mobilize citizens from all walks of life to join forces in the fight against environmental degradation, working towards a future where our landscapes thrive in harmony with nature.
Solution:
SOIL believes in the power of conscious awareness and sustainable practices to address the challenges facing our landscape. We advocate for natural systems farming as a solution that promotes soil rejuvenation and fosters ecological resilience. Additionally, we call upon the federal government to establish an independent advisory board dedicated to land preservation, ensuring informed decision-making and long-term sustainability.
In pursuit of our solution, SOIL hosts webinars, educational talks, and events featuring top environmental and health experts, scientists, farmers, landowners, landscape designers, and policymakers. These gatherings delve into crucial topics such as food security, climate change, soil rejuvenation, and restoration, providing valuable insights and actionable strategies for positive change.
Mantra:
SOIL reveres the ancient wisdom of our landscape, recognizing its role as the oldest and largest living ecosystem on Earth with the least number of climate systems For four billion years, it has nurtured diverse forms of life, offering a sanctuary for plants and animals alike before the arrival of humans. Our mantra serves as a reminder of our profound connection to this land and our responsibility to safeguard its integrity for future generations.
Audience:
Our talks and events are designed for Conventional and Organic farmers, emerging farmers, landowners, and anyone passionate about land sustainability. Whether you're deeply entrenched in agricultural practices or simply care about your health and the planet, you're welcome to join our community and be part of the solution.
