Publisher's Summary
Work with nature to consistently grow the highest quality produce—all while doing your part in fighting climate change and helping the environment.
Are you stressed out about…
The seemingly steady decline in both the quantity and quality of your crops?
“Technical farming problems” like soil erosion and biodiversity loss?
Climate change—how you can cope with it, and how you can be part of the solution rather than the problem?
If so, chances are you’re suffering from eco-anxiety…and unfortunately, you have good reason to do so.
According to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), each year, an estimated 24 billion tons of fertile soil are lost due to erosion. That’s a whopping 3.4 tons lost every year for each person on the planet.
This is quite a serious issue, considering the fact that it takes approximately 500 years for a 2.5-centimeter layer of fertile topsoil to form under agricultural conditions—and our food security ultimately depends on soil quality. But the good news is there’s a way to reverse the damage…and you can be part of the solution…through regenerative agriculture! Regenerative agriculture has countless benefits—producing nutrient-dense food, combating climate change, enhancing ecosystem biodiversity, improving air and water quality, huge savings from higher yields, using fewer synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides… the list goes on and on!
Now, if it sounds like you’re going to need technical expertise to do this… don’t worry. Understanding your soil and giving it what it needs doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with this easy-to-listen guide filled with practical advice and information on how to improve your relationship with your soil and get the most out of it! Click "Add To Cart" Now.

Story
Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. It's like thinking the unthinkable. After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: Not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers.

Story
Raised as a fourth-generation farmer, when Will Harris inherited White Oak Pastures he was a full-time commodity cowboy who played hard and fast with every tool the system offered–chemicals, antibiotics, steroids, and more. His ancestors had built a highly profitable, conventionally run machine, but over time he found himself disgusted with the excess, cruelty, and smalltown devastation this system entailed. So he bet the farm on forging a different way of doing things. One that works with nature not against it, and bridges the quickly widening delta between consumers and their food.

Story
When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You’ll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

overall, a compact and practical guide to improving soil health with a slow and dixtionary-like first part
Maybe best in print form, not as an audiobook. The first part was a bit like listening to somebody read through Wikipedia, and it was difficult to process all the information. People, or at least I, process information well through stories and examples, so more of that would have helped to offset the dictionary-like first half. The second half of the book had some really interesting examples of what to do. I won't remember the recipes for compost tea and the Korean natural farming recipes, but now that I know about them I can google them again. It was very helpful to have the conclusion, summarizing the steps one can take.
