In this week’s episode, we dig into soils - both literally and metaphorically.

Soils aren’t really visible to us, but they underpin every single life system on planet earth.

Soil is one of our most important carbon sinks, critical to water, home to 60% of all bio-diversity and helping to produce 98% of our food.

In this episode, Niki goes on location to a soil-progressive farm where Yorkshire Farmer, Paul Temple, is managing his soils a little differently and she is joined by Expert co-host, Ellen Fay, Founder and Executive Director of the Sustainable Soils Alliance.

Niki is joined by Amandeep Kaur Maan, Founder of EcoSikh UK and Mumin Islam, a water industry leader with a passion for water demand management, equity, diversity and environmental and social justice to explore the relationship between faith, culture and our environment.

Both guests have worked on the delivery of a groundbreaking project with Cambridge Central Mosque - the first 'eco Mosque' in the UK - and the conversation covers:

• The opportunities for conversations about environmental sustainability and water demand management through the lenses of faith and culture.
• Where Mumin and Amandeep see organisations that are getting this right - and what we can learn from these experiences.
• What needs to be in place to enable stronger relationships that deliver meaningful change for our environment.
