This book is for those wanting to create vibrant, profitable and healthy food production systems.
For the Love of Soil was written to communicate the often complex and technical know-how of soil in more digestible terms, with case studies from regenerative farmers, growers and... ranchers in Australasia and North America.

We'll also explore the principles and tools so you can take actions to regenerate your own soil resource, no matter the scale.
