A Texas native, Laura van der Pol explored ways that soil can be our common ground to address humanity’s wicked challenges at Colorado State University, studying soil ecology. She was inspired by The Land Institute’s mission to save and rebuild soil to ensure a livable future, so much so that she did her PhD with the institution’s advisory support and soil samples from 2019-2022. Now at The Land Institute, Laura explores how perennial grains interact with soil, compared to annual grain crops and natural ecosystems.
My most perennial trait: Perseverance—soil is deep, takes time to build, and is hard to see. Enough said.
