Before there is art, there is attention.
In our latest interview on Save Soil News, land artist James Brunt shares how slowing down, noticing what’s under our feet, and working with natural materials reshapes how we relate to soil and the world around us.
This is not only about art or aesthetics. It’s about attention, curiosity, and how simple, grounded practices can shift our everyday experience of the earth.

The ground beneath our feet is more than just dirt. It is a living system that may be quietly shaping our emotions.
Recent research from Flinders University suggests that soil microbes can influence the human microbiome and the gut, brain axis. By interacting with our bodies through the air we breathe and the food we eat, these microbes can modulate essential neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.
This means that the quality of our soil and ecosystems could directly impact our social bonds, attraction, and overall mental wellbeing. Healthy, living soil creates environments that support our nervous and immune systems, while degraded land can lead to increased inflammation and reduced emotional health.
Understanding this connection is a powerful reminder that our health is inseparable from the health of the soil.

It is wonderful that today Soil health is being recognized as the primary driver of ecological health. Several governments, farmers, scientists, ordinary citizens, industry and numerous organizations have embraced the Save Soil movement to ensure their Voice is heard above the noise. This is our best opportunity to unite in Action for what unifies us. On this World Soil Day, may every nation commit to protecting its only true wealth - its agricultural soil. #SaveSoil. Let’s make it happen. -Sg @IUCN@UNCCDcso@UNCCD@FAO

A Deity is a living Divine entity. It is only when a Deity is managed, rituals are conducted, and all other requirements are fulfilled by those who are deeply devoted to the Deity, that a temple becomes an abode of vibrance and transformation. I beseech the Prime Minister of India and all the members of Parliament to correct the anomaly of apartheid against the Hindu community in Bharat. This is not a favour but the fulfillment of fundamental rights as enshrined in our Constitution. Jai Hind. -Sg @narendramodi@PMOIndia@AmitShah@rashtrapatibhvn https://t.co/nwtvIRv7Ve

The purpose of terrorism is not war but to cripple a society with fear. The aim is to spread panic, divide the society, derail the economic growth of the country and create lawlessness at every level. If we want to preserve and nurture the sovereignty of this nation, these elements should be dealt with an iron hand and a steely long-term resolve. There are larger, long-term solutions– more equal distribution of education, economic opportunities, wealth and welfare on all levels. For now, it is of utmost importance to stand together as a nation beyond all narrow divides of religion, caste, creed or political affiliations and to support our security forces at all levels to perform their duties. Our deepest condolences & blessings to all bereaved & injured. -Sg #Pahalgam https://t.co/mF1IHOEadG
