A scientist’s manifesto addressing a soil loss crisis accelerated by poor conservation practices and climate change
This book by celebrated biologist Jo Handelsman lays bare the complex connections among climate change, soil erosion, food and water security, and drug discovery.
Humans depend on soil for 95 percent of global food production, yet let it erode at unsustainable rates. In the United States, China, and India, vast tracts of farmland will be barren of topsoil within this century. The combination of intensifying erosion caused by climate change and the increasing food needs of a growing world population is creating a desperate need for solutions to this crisis.
Writing for a nonspecialist audience, Jo Handelsman celebrates the capacities of soil and explores the soil-related challenges of the near future. She begins by telling soil’s origin story, explains how it erodes and the subsequent repercussions worldwide, and offers solutions. She considers lessons learned from indigenous people who have sustainably farmed the same land for thousands of years, practices developed for large-scale agriculture, and proposals using technology and policy initiatives.

Thank you.
With a bit of luck Covid, or something similar, will eradicate the human race and then, maybe, the rest of life on ths planet will have a tiny chance of a brighter future.

“accelerated by poor conservation practices and climate change”……and big money interests (short term) owning politicians who will ignore history, science, data & let next quarters profits trump all else.
Farmers are trapped in a seriously warped system. Everyone loses.

I have not read this book, but I’m familiar with this topic - soil loss is not some ‘libtard’ talking point. Go talk to farmers & ranchers. I have in the US & Canada. They are not exactly bleeding heart liberals. Farming life doesn’t have room for that mindset. Farmers can confirm that there a many changes going on with climate environment. It’s only getting harder for them. If they don’t make it……
‘Dirt’ by Mark Kurlansky is related & on here if you search. He also did ‘Salt’.

Mark Kurlansky doesn’t have a book named ‘Dirt’, however ‘Salt - A World History’ looks great thanks.
