Complete Guide to Restoring Your Soil

Offert en anglais seulement

Healthy soil is key to sustaining life on Earth. Dale Strickler is an expert on building healthy soil and restoring degraded soil, and in this book, he presents the science of soil, along with proven methods of restoring depleted soil and agricultural practices from around the world that continue to build soil rather than cause it to deteriorate.

Strickler provides a solid foundation in the science of healthy soil, explaining how soil has become so degraded over time and the dire consequences for the human species, not just in terms of food scarcity but also the social, health and environmental consequences of growing food in poor soil. He addresses the chemical, physical and biological principles behind soil function, and presents farming practices that can be used to regenerate soil, techniques and strategies for remediating contaminated soil, and agriculture systems both past and present that functioned to build soil, such as the ancient chinampas systems of Mexico and the permaculture systems of today.
