Soil Science For Regenerative Agriculture: A Comprehensive Guide To Living Soil, No-Till Gardening, Composting And Natural Farming - Complete With A Step-By-Step Action Plan To Quickly Grow Soil
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-read guide filled with practical advice and information on how to improve your relationship with your soil and get the most out of it!
Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover from this
8 reasons you should stop tilling RIGHT NOW—and what you should be doing insteadWhy carbon isn’t the main bad guy in our “carbon problem”How we’ve been jeopardizing our soil quality—and aquatic life—since the industrial revolutionWhy organic fertilizer won’t solve all your soil problems—and what you should know before grabbing a bag or two for your garden7 essential soil tests to help you figure out everything you need to know about your soilThe hidden downsides of generating renewable energy through hydropowerThe key to maximizing plant health for optimum crop qualityHow to compost—the right way!A Korean farming method that helps you eliminate the need for chemical fertilizersA 9-step soil regeneration action plan to produce high-quality topsoilAnd so much more.
Even if you don’t think you have a green thumb and don’t have the slightest idea of what soil science is, you’ll be able to boost your soil quality in no time with these simple techniques.
Give back to our Earth by giving back to the Earth—starting today!

A Wake-up Call! Highly detailed, technical read with options for nurturing the micro biome within your living soil.
"The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.” –Franklin D. Roosevelt
This is a highly technical book… so some background in biology and chemistry is helpful to follow the first part.
The author goes through water cycle, as well as the oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and carbon cycles and how these have changed because of man’s effect on the planet.
Then she continues to discuss the five trophic levels of soil and what organisms / microorganisms live at each level for a health soil.
In the last part, she shares strategies for improving the soil that can be sourced on your own land.
Details are comprehensive. As something of a hobby backyard gardener… with interest in native plants… this is an interesting read, but it will take a dedicated effort to apply. Well worth reading - it knocks holes into several well accepted practices - like tilling. Get to know your soil better! Solutions are out there. The health and future of the planet depends on the health of its soil.

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.

Probably more than you ever wanted to know a out soil. Highly educational with easy to understand descriptions and instructions. I kind of felt like Gaetan "Mole" Molière from that cartoon, Atlantis, "You have disturbed the dirt! Dirt from around the globe spanning the centuries!"

I learned several techniques on how to enrich soil, which will provide massive yields on your fruits and vegetables. Each of these techniques is backed by deep science: chemistry and biology. I’m fully confident that this knowledge will provide optimal crop yields.

A really good and straightforward introduction to basic soil science. I liked that it was scientific, but also approachable and efficient about the information.

outstanding book in scope and research. Wonderfully written
I did a masters degree in tall grass prairie ecology and I have read scores of books on soil. This book is one of the best, if not the best in simplicity, common sense presentation, research and scope. I have never ran across the four aspects of plant health, nor have I seen such a complete presentation of minerals explained in such a down to earth way. This book transcends itself and is more than just a book on soil. I would put it in the top 100 of all ecosystems-environmental books I have read and I have read hundreds while working on a doctorate in eco criticism. Wonderful, must read book!
