Matt Powers reads from Regenerative Soil - The Introduction/Chapter 1
This is a reading from my new book: Regenerative Soil
Regenerative Soil - The Science & Solutions covers soil management, remediation, generation, and the science from the biological, chemistry, and biochemistry perspectives and all connected to the natural farming methods, so we can see and calculate those methods for and at scale in all climates and situations from gardening to farming to large-scale remediation. You'll be able to see the cycles for each nutrient/element and why/how/when of their cycles - it builds a principle-based understanding that allows for improvisation and comprehension across disciplines, methods, and techniques.
"Matt Powers’ Regenerative Soil is the reference I will be using and recommending for those working from the backyard to the back paddock.”
— Dr David Holmgren, Permaculture co-originator
and author of RetroSuburbia; the downshifter’s guide to a resilient future
