Mootopia: How to Easily Fix Human Health and Heal the Planet
This book is for people who want to understand what farm folk have always known. Our soil is a legacy, cows make rain, horses heal the land, fungi are our friends, the sky is alive, and farm kids are happy kids. The authors found thousands of scientific references -- and cite nearly a hundred in the book -- validating the observations of farmers and physicians over millennia.
Regenerative grazing is restoring the Garden of Eden. This hopeful and inspiring book connects researchers, ranchers, farmers, and philosophers with the activiies of our daily lives -- and with programs that countries, regions, cities, and towns are adopting all over the world.
After founding a farm-to-family food coop in Colorado and personally handing organic veggies, grass fed beef, and clean dairy to thousands of people every week, co-author Ben Sargent found he could predict people's diet and lifestyle choices simply by reading their face, their gait, and their the strongest, healthiest, clearest-minded people were those that ate ample meat and dairy and already lived a "farmey" lifestyle.
Sargent eamed up with his wife, Mary Lin, a trained cell biologist to figure it out and the surprises didn't stop with human health. Mary had studied the Gaia Hypothesis and spoke of how microbes created Earth's current atmosphere. What farmers always knew and what biologists were finding out clicked together.
The book the shared cow-human gut biome benefits human health and mental healthHow regenerative grazing can rebuild the soil microbiome, restore wildlife habitats, and stimulate the entire trophic cascade of important ecosystemsWhy horses and asses are essential for healthy grasslandsHow methanogens and methanotrophs interact in a healthy environment to prevent wetlands and cow burps from harming the atmosphereHow the minute electrical charges in structured water impact everyday weatherHow microbes, including the newly discovered sky microbiome, created and still largely control the Earth's climate via feedback loops. The book also provides actionable ideas for how urban, suburban, rural, and wilderness communities can start enjoying the health and lifestyle benefits of Mootopia right now.
