Abstract
This thesis forages through a multitude of entangled scales that utilizes geologic time, water bodies, farming systems and fungal networks to reorient how we as humans herald the vital connecting force that is SOIL.
Reimagining how approaches to soil care could alter visions of innovation and land management in the arid region of Llano Estacado (Lubbock, TX).
The research embraces soil a place full of life and microbial activity that systematically contributes to local ecosystems and planetary health.
How do we build soil?
