Description
For centuries, agricultural practices have eroded the soil that farming depends on, stripping it of the organic matter vital to its productivity. Now, conventional agriculture is threatening disaster for the world's growing population.
In Growing a Revolution, geologist David R. Montgomery travels the world, meeting farmers at the forefront of an agricultural movement to restore soil health. From Kansas to Ghana, he sees why adopting the three tenets of conservation agriculture—ditching the plough, planting cover crops, and growing a diversity of crops—is the solution.
When farmers restore fertility to the land, it helps feed the world, cool the planet, reduce pollution, and return profitability to family farms.
