Soil Science For Regenerative Agriculture by Amélie des Plantes PDF
Work with nature to consistently grow the highest quality produce—all while doing your part in fighting climate change and helping the environment.
Are you stressed out about…
The seemingly steady decline in both the quantity and quality of your crops?
“Technical farming problems” like soil erosion and biodiversity loss?
Climate change—how you can cope with it, and how you can be part of the solution rather than the problem?
If so, chances are you’re suffering from eco-anxiety… and unfortunately, you have good reason to do so.
According to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), each year, an estimated 24 billion tons of fertile soil are lost due to erosion. That’s a whopping 3.4 tons lost every year for each person on the planet.
This is quite a serious issue, considering the fact that it takes approximately 500 years for a 2.5-centimeter layer of fertile topsoil to form under agricultural conditions—and our food security ultimately depends on soil quality.
But the good news is there’s a way to reverse the damage… and you can be part of the solution… through regenerative agriculture!
Regenerative agriculture has countless benefits— producing nutrient-dense food, combating climate change, enhancing ecosystem biodiversity, improving air and water quality, huge savings from higher yields, using fewer synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides… the list goes on and on!
Now, if it sounds like you’re going to need technical expertise to do this… don’t worry. Understanding your soil and giving it what it needs doesn’t have to be complicated.
Start with this easy-to-read guide filled with practical advice and information on how to improve your relationship with your soil and get the most out of it!
Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover from this book:
8 reasons you should stop tilling RIGHT NOW—and what you should be doing instead
Why carbon isn’t the main bad guy in our “carbon problem”
How we’ve been jeopardizing our soil quality—and aquatic life—since the industrial revolution
Why organic fertilizer won’t solve all your soil problems—and what you should know before grabbing a bag or two for your garden
7 essential soil tests to help you figure out everything you need to know about your soil
The hidden downsides of generating renewable energy through hydropower
The key to maximizing plant health for optimum crop quality
How to compost—the right way!
A Korean farming method that helps you eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers
A 9-step soil regeneration action plan to produce high-quality topsoil
And so much more.
Even if you don’t think you have a green thumb and don’t have the slightest idea of what soil science is, you’ll be able to boost your soil quality in no time with these simple techniques.
Give back to our Earth by giving back to the Earth—starting today!
