SOIL. SUSTAINS LIFE.

Exhibition structure

I. Soil: The first part of the exhibition shows that soil is a living organism. How is it formed? What are its functions, and what causes soil loss? By focusing on the linkage between soil and life, this part of the exhibition aims to foster visitors’ appreciation of this precious resource.

II. People: The second part of the exhibition deals with human communities and their needs – food, clothing, work and mobility. The aim is to raise visitors’ awareness that none of these needs can be met without soil.

 III. Soil and people: How can soil and people co-exist in such a way that they benefit and continue to thrive? The third part of the exhibition provides answers by showcasing projects and initiatives from around the world and outlining options for individual action.
