VISION
Health. Future. Food. Symposium
Healthy soils are quite literally the basis of our existence. The Soil to Soul platform is a hub of expert knowledge gathered from the fields of nutrition, enjoyment and health with a focus on regenerative agriculture and gut health. We can contribute to the preservation of our soils just by eating more conscientiously – and in doing so, reinstate soil’s significance for the environment and the well-being of humans and animals. The annual Soil to Soul Symposium is a central feature of our platform. It is an assembly of engaged experts imparting knowledge and offering further food for thought in our areas of interest.
The aim: to create awareness of the pivotal role our soils play with respect to the environment, human and animal health, and overall quality of life.

Every bite matters.
The Soil to Soul Symposium first took place through September 16-18, 2021 as part of FOOD ZURICH at Sihlcity. Learn more and take a look back at our first edition here.
