The Dirt Whisperer – Giorgio Litt (Atlanta, Georgia)  

A systems program manager and his wife trade their corporate lives for one of biological farming, permaculture, and a sustainable way of living driven primarily by the health of their soil.Raised on homesteads, Brian and Shelby’s move to the city to work for two of the largest corporations on the planet seemed to be a tacit rejection of their upbringings. So with rising temperatures and cost of living, it’s no wonder that their search for meaning, fulfillment, and a closer connection to their food lead them right back to a self-sufficient and rural way of life still second nature to them.In a journey for Brian and Shelby to rediscover a way of life, the process of disconnecting from nearly century-old agricultural systems hasn’t revealed a simple answer to the question of sustainability and crop health. But it has revealed where lies the answer:  In the health of their biodiverse soil. 2021; 60 min.
