Summary:
"Are you really
what
you eat? David R. Montgomery and Anne Bikle take us far beyond the well-worn adage to deliver a new truth : the roots of good
health
start on farms.
What
Your
Food
Ate
marshals evidence from recent and forgotten science to illustrate
how
the
health
of the soil ripples through to that of crops, livestock, and ultimately us. The long-running partnerships through which crops and soil life nourish one another suffuse plant and animal foods in the human diet with an array of compounds and nutrients
our
bodies need to protect us from pathogens and chronic ailments. Unfortunately, conventional agricultural practices unravel these vital partnerships and thereby undercut
our
well-being. Can farmers and ranchers produce enough nutrient-dense
food
to feed us all? Can we have quality and quantity? With their trademark thoroughness and knack for integrating information across numerous scientific fields, Montgomery and Bikle chart the way forward. Navigating discoveries and epiphanies about the world beneath
our
feet, they reveal why regenerative farming practices hold the key to healing sick soil and untapped potential for improving human
health
. Humanity's hallmark endeavors of agriculture and medicine emerged from
our
understanding of the natural world-and still depend on it. Montgomery and Bikle eloquently update this fundamental reality and show us why
what
's good for the
land
is good for us, too.
What
Your
Food
Ate
is a must-read for farmers, eaters, chefs, doctors, and anyone concerned with reversing the modern epidemic of chronic diseases and mitigating climate change."--From publisher.
