KCRW Presents: LA Soil & Its People

Are you soil-curious? Do you love lively conversations, connecting with fellow Angelenos, and learning how we can make our city greener from the ground up?

Join us for LA Soil & Its People, an inspiring evening dedicated to exploring our vital relationship with the Earth beneath our feet. Moderated by Evan Kleiman (host of KCRW’s Good Food), this panel brings together local soil researchers, urban farmers, and community organizers to consider how urban soil impacts every part of our lives—from the food on our plates to the clothes on our backs.

Soil erosion is accelerating, but hope and solutions are right here in our backyards. Together, we’ll explore key questions like:

• Neighborhood Action: How can we build healthier, living soil right in our own communities?
• Urban Connection: In a sprawling metropolis like LA, how do we nurture a deeper bond with the ground that connects us all?
• Community Resilience: Can rebuilding our relationship with the land transform the health of both LA’s soil and its people?

Come for the insights, stay for the community, and leave with actionable ways to make a difference!
