Soil to Soil serves to connect the dots in the lifecycle of clothing and material culture, offering a look at how, and why, Fibershed communities are working to cultivate fiber and dye systems that build soil and protect the health of our biosphere.
Can fashion and textiles, an industry known as one of the heaviest polluters on the planet, change course and even become a stakeholder in a system that benefits people and planet? From sheep to sweater, field to finished good, we invite you to join us in connecting to the people and places providing a pathway to regional, regenerative fiber systems.
Through individual interviews, the podcast will dive into questions such as who grew your clothes? How can fiber production build soil carbon? How can we measure the impacts of carbon farming? And more.

Lifesaver Brain Vitamin for “Sustainable” Fashion Freak
I have felt paralyzed by malnourishment in the past as a Colorado based “sustainable” fashion designer, searching for a cohesive community / movement / people who understand what I’m talking about. I have found great solace in the Fashion Revolution’s movement, but they are based in the UK & I have felt the US has needed its own movement that focuses on US based problems & solutions. The Fibershed principles fills these gaps, & this podcast has already explored all the topics my intellectual brain feels starved of, especially in these alienating covid times. This podcast is my vitamin that has been keeping me alive ! Thank you Fibershed for curating this need platform to talk about how we can actually regenerate the fashion industry from soil
Up. Love y’all sew much, sew grateful!
Thank you
So grateful to hear someone call out not only the depletion of our soils and loss of nutrition in our food in general (#1 most dire & under-rated problem on earth) but also the need for groundcover crops in Northern California specifically. I drove west down into the central valley from Lassen to Chico and then down the I-5 corridor to the Bay Area yesterday (late summer) and the amount of soil or dust in the air was ominous.
