DIRT specialises in funding projects around the world regenerating the soil, ecosystems and communities through biodynamic farming methods. As well as fundraising for these projects, DIRT also fundraises annually for two funds whose content is distributed annually to educate and support farmers to learn the most effective method of farming in terms of quality of yield and being a solution for climate change.
When you think about where your clothes actually come from and where and how the fibres are grown we can start to gain an understanding of the impact our purchasing decisions have on people and our environment.
DIRT’s mission is to help fashion become a climate solution by growing raw materials on biodynamic farms. John Muir once said - “Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt”. We couldn't agree more.
Everything we need, have, and use, is grown in soil. Soil that has been abused by chemical agriculture and is often nutrient poor. DIRT is an independent charitable organisation working toward regenerating soils that have been degraded by conventional agriculture and mining.
Biodynamic Farming is a type of regenerative agriculture and a movement that is nearly 100 years old but not well known, yet holds the answer to Earth's regeneration. It is working hard to transform the agricultural system into a healthy one, one that supports life on Earth. It uses no chemicals at all and makes its own compost on the farm to fertilise the soil, omitting the need to purchase chemical fertilisers which are harming soil microorganisms. With each passing season, the life under the soil of a biodynamic farm becomes healthier and nutrient rich. Biodynamic Farmers start by asking the question: "How can I help this land on which I live and work?" DIRT works to regenerate soil globally by supporting and helping the biodynamic farming movement to expand. Everything grown in soil could be grown biodynamically and for all our benefits, should be.
