SOIL REGENERATION:
Growing A Revolution
Bringing Our Soil Back to Life With the Latest in Earth Science
new book says farming can save the soil, and even address climate change.
David Montgomery, research geologist at University of WA, is an eloquent, precise earth science communicator. His latest book takes on one of the toughest problems creating climate change and resource depletion:
impoverishment of soil. A catastrophe all by itself, collapse of soil microbiome also impairs its capacity to sequester carbon and retain moisture.
Montgomery visits farmers, range managers and others who show improving diversity & resilience of soil microbiomes is economically viable, and has lasting ecological impact.
Montgomery’s meticulous scientific research deepens the discussion, reviewing recent technical literature to explain and evaluate farmers’ findings.
