The Soil Factory was founded in Ithaca, NY, in mid-2021 to serve as an experimental space to develop innovative ways of bringing diverse actors together to tackle the most pressing issues of our time. The Soil Factory explores art-science approaches together with the local community, policy makers, the academic community, and anyone in the Ithaca region and globally who is interested in building an unusual platform of creative engagement. This website chronicles some of the past activities, links to information of those engaging with this initiative, and invites participation. The Soil Factory is the place where the idea of The Question Factory is taking shape. In late 2024, we are starting the Soil Factory Press, that publishes work of The Soil Factory, in and around the community, on aspects at the intersection of art and science.
