The Dirt Gang was set up to highlight the importance of healthy soil to our crops, food and people. As a society we have forgotten the importance of soil - our most under appreciated, yet essential natural resource.

1. The loss of soil though erosion and depletion
2. A decrease in the nutritional quality of 'industrial farmed' food
3. The impact of large intensive farming practices (pesticides, biosolids etc.) on the countryside and wildlife
