Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life

In this book, we follow the author on an investigation of various agricultural methods all over the globe to see what works and which methods rejuvinate depleted soils. This is a rather pleasant book to read - no doom and gloom. The author is optimistic about humanity's ability to feed itself provided the methods described in this book are followed. No fancy technology or equipment is necessary. It doesn't matter if you are an organic produce farmer or a conventional farmer, farm with animals or plants, have a huge farm in the USA or a small family farm in Africa, the principles described in this book make farming profitable, improve the soil, reduce erosion, retain water, minimize weeds, reduce input costs in terms of fertilizer, show more herbicide and pesticide. show less

Interesting topic. Good reporting. Great writing. This book is a must-read for those who are interested in agriculture, both large and small scale. Stay tuned for a longer review or check out what other's have already said to get a more detailed sense of of the content.

We can only hope, little by little, thing will change to a more sustainable model.
