"Learn a roadmap to healthy soil and revitalized food systems to powerfully address these times of challenge. This book equips producers with knowledge, skills and insights to regenerate ecosystem health and grow farm/ranch profits. Learn how to: -- Triage soil health and act to fast-track soil and plant health -- Build healthy resilient soil systems -- Develop a deeper understanding of microbial and mineral synergies -- Read what weeds and diseases are communicating about soil and plant health -- Create healthy, productive and profitable landscapes. Globally recognized soil advocate and agroecologist Nicole Masters delivers the solution to rewind the clock on this increasingly critical soil crisis in her first book, 'For the Love of Soil.' She argues we can no longer treat soil like dirt. Instead, we must take a soil-first approach to regenerate landscapes, restore natural cycles, and bring vitality back to ecosystems. This book translates the often complex and technical know-how of soil into more digestible terms through case studies from regenerative farmers, growers, and ranchers in Australasia and North America. Along with sharing key soil health principles and restoration tools, 'For the Love of Soil' provides land managers with an action plan to kickstart their soil resource's well-being, no matter the scale."-- Publisher description.
