The Soil Will Save Us: How Scientists, Farmers, and Foodies Are Healing the Soil to Save the Planet

This book was incredible! I learned so much about soil health and carbon, and how the use of pesticides affects our Earth. I will be using some of what I learned in future gardening.I recommend that everyone reads this book, as it is so informative about our world and how we treat it.

I came to this really excellent book via a number of health books promoting a WFPB diet which, in turn, guided towards an interest in the soil. I had never, ever expected to be reading about the soil but it is a fascinating and hugely important subject. It is also optimistic. Perhaps in regenerating our soil, adding back the escaped carbon, there lies a simple and inexpensive way to ameliorate global warming. Ohlson has written an easy to read introduction that I highly recommend. I'd also note that the Netflix documentary 'Kiss the Ground' covers the same material in about an hour which might be of interest to those who are time constrained.

If you care about our beautiful planet then you should read it

This book has really inspired me. I absolutely loved it and am keeping it in my bathroom to reread bit by bit. The writing is terrific, down to earth and humorous while giving us a clear understanding of how plants and microbes interact to cause climate changing possibilities. I highly recommend it.

Ich wollte einfach wissen, was in anderen Welträumen an Bestrebungen im Gange sind, um die fragwürdigen Praktiken unser nach ökonomischen Grundsätzen ausgerichteten Landwirtschaft zu beleuchten, in Frage zu stellen und neue Wege aufzuzeigen. Das wird sichtbar, dass man sich auch andernorts, andernwelts sich rührt. Will heißen, Zukunft entsteht initial weltweit, wenn man es angeht.So das eine Buchbesprechung sein? Nein. Nur ein Statement.
