The&nbsp;<em>Living Soil<\/em>&nbsp;documentary was created and produced with that goal in mind, so we can achieve the many environmental benefits of healthy soils at a much grander scale,\u201d said Dr. Wayne Honeycutt, President and CEO of the Soil Health Institute. \u201cWe thank everyone who has viewed and especially shared the documentary. My only ask is this: Please keep it up!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;60-minute film captures the history \u2013 and significance \u2013 of the soil health movement, beginning with painful images of the Dust Bowl, and then transitioning to personal experiences of innovative women and men who are managing their land to enhance soil health.&nbsp;<em>Living Soil<\/em>&nbsp;features rural and urban farmers from Maryland to California, producing everything from corn to floral bouquets, united by their care for the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The documentary was directed by Ms. Chelsea Myers of Tiny Attic Productions and produced by the Soil Health Institute through the generous support of The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation. It is available free of charge and is currently being translated into multiple languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lesson plans are offered for high school and college faculty use. The primary learning goal is to help students develop an understanding of why soil health is important and identify ways that professionals in production agriculture work to improve the health of our nation\u2019s soils, ultimately benefiting all members of society. Free lesson plans are designed to accompany the&nbsp;<em>Living Soil&nbsp;<\/em>film and are appropriate to classes in agriculture, natural resources, environment, ecology, biology or human nutrition and food systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Healthy Soils Week 2020 in California.
