'Earth as Superfood’
Since ancient times, people have believed in the sacredness of the earth and honor soil with different traditions. Sometimes these traditions include engaging in eating soil, also called geophagy. From 1 November until 17 December a new exhibit, Earth as Superfood, showcasing edible soils from around the world begins in two locations on Wageningen University and Research (WUR) campus, in the World Soil Museum and in Impulse.
In Impulse the exhibit is available for viewing at 9:00-17:00 Monday – Friday.
In the World Soil Museum the exhibit is viewable during the museum’s public hours on Wednesday afternoons from 13:00-18:00 and during weekdays by appointment.
