Narrative:
After pushback and upon turning out to the parallel taxiway we entered a dirt non-movement area. Because we didn't cross any ground marking we did not identify the deviation. Unable to identify ramp area boundary due to the lack of required ground markings or edge lights. Also; poor overall ramp lighting. Proper markings and lighting to identify non movement area [are needed].
