Soil to Soul is committed to healthy fertile soils and regenerative agriculture and therefore by definition a nutrient-rich and enjoyable diet. Active in both Switzerland and Portugal, the movement sees itself as a knowledge platform that informs and publishes, organises and networks. The high point of its calendar is the annual Soil to Soul Symposium that takes place in Zurich each September.
