What Your Food Eight is a book that explores the connections between soil health, food quality, and human health. The authors argue that the way we farm our land is directly linked to the quality of the food we eat. buying organic doesn't just help you avoid consuming pesticides, herbicides, and other toxins. Organic foods actually have more vitamins and nutrients that are healthier for you.
What I learned from What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health by David R. Montgomery and Anne Bikle.
