Following the feature, a Q+A will take place featuring filmmaker Jennifer Gibson, Urbana Farmstead’s Margie Raymondo, row crop farmer Adam Chappell, and a representative of the Villines Farm.

About Dirt

Arkansas PBS breaks through the surface to explore the living, breathing ecosystem beneath it in Dirt, a documentary about the importance of soil conservation. As world population and food production demands rise, this film delves into how Arkansas farmers, ranchers and others are conserving their soil, water, air and other natural resources, improving their operations and helping the environment with sustainability methods from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). NRCS conservationists provide technical expertise and conservation planning for farmers, ranchers and forest landowners wanting to make conservation improvements to their land.

Major funding for Dirt is provided by the Pulaski County Conservation District and the United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in Arkansas.
