@Brussels (Jette)

Soilmates is a non-profit initiative with wild farmers and soil scientists, mindful chefs and conscious eaters, artists and earth-activists.
We believe fertile soil is key to preserve all life, both above and below the ground.
Our goal is to create awareness by giving a voice to the soil. Through artistic performances and culinary experiences we want to invite people to keep their 6 senses wide open and to step into the unexpected of the hidden half of nature.

respect

SOILMATES are people willing to think holistically about the web of life. Our aim is to create a paradigm shift in which the living earth becomes the center of the culinary and artistic experience, rather than the chef, artist or the farmer. The soil becomes the subject.

By choosing a regenerative farming and food system and ensuring healthy soil, we – and future generations – will be able to continue to enjoy this bountiful array of precious materials and delicious foods.

about

The Soilmates movement has been initiated by 4 soil lovers: restaurant owners Caroline Baerten and Nicolas Decloedt (Humus & Hortense), farmer Dries Delanote (Le Monde des Mille Couleurs) and artistic director Alexandra Swenden (Les Passagées).

Since then, the collective has been joined by numerous chefs, regenerative farmers, artists, artisans, eco-warriors, scientists, and food experts.
