In Growing A Revolution, Dr.
David Montgomery travels
the world meeting farmers
at the forefront of a soil
health revolution. On
those farms, he discovers
simple, cost-effective
strategies that can help
feed the world, cool the
planet, reduce pollution,
and return profitability to
family farms.
The Hidden Half of Nature digs into the
science of microbes, explaining why
good health - for people, plants, and
soil - depends on these tiny critters.
The authors reveal astounding
parallels between our own bodies and
the world of plants and soil. They
show how cultivating beneficial
microbiomes holds great promise for
transforming
agriculture and
medicine.
