An accessible, no-nonsense introduction to how soil is the basis of our own health and that of the planet.
This book gives you the knowledge you need to make informed decisions for your property, along with achievable, inexpensive steps you can take today to improve the soil on your farm, lifestyle block, or garden.

Soil health isn’t just important for agriculture — it matters to everyone who works with soil.
From gardeners to farmers, sports field managers, water authorities, mining operators, and policy makers — just to name a few. The underlying principles explained in this book apply to properties of all sizes and to climates around the world.
Soil works the same everywhere.

Everyone who eats should know what soil health — or the lack thereof — does to our food.
Beyond nutrition, soil health is vital for our biological, chemical, emotional, and even spiritual wellbeing.

Soil’s key role in restoring a healthy environment is still widely underestimated.
Saving the planet starts beneath our feet.
