About this listen
Learn a road map to healthy soil and revitalized food systems for powerfully addressing these times of challenge. This audiobook equips producers with knowledge, skills, and insights to regenerate ecosystem health and grow farm/ranch profits.
This audiobook will show you how to:
- Triage soil health and act to fast-track soil and plant health
- Build healthy resilient soil systems
- Develop a deeper understanding of microbial and mineral synergies
- Read what weeds and diseases are communicating about soil and plant health
- Create healthy, productive and profitable landscapes
Globally recognized soil advocate and agroecologist Nicole Masters delivers the solution to rewind the clock on this increasingly critical soil crisis in her first book For the Love of Soil. She argues we can no longer treat soil like dirt. Instead, we must take a soil-first approach to regenerate landscapes, restore natural cycles, and bring vitality back to ecosystems.
This book translates the often complex and technical know-how of soil into more digestible terms through case studies from regenerative farmers, growers, and ranchers in Australasia and North America. Along with sharing key soil health principles and restoration tools, For the Love of Soil provides land managers with an action plan to kick-start their soil resource’s well-being, no matter the scale.
Praise for the book:
“For years, many of us involved in regenerative agriculture have been touting the soil health - plant health - animal health - human health connection but no one has tied them all together like Nicole does in For the Love of Soil!" (Gabe Brown, Browns Ranch, Nourished by Nature)
“William Gibson once said that "the future is here - it is just not evenly distributed. Nicole modestly claims that the information in the book is not new thinking, but her resynthesis of the lessons she has learned and refined in collaboration with regenerative land-managers is new, and it is powerful. She lucidly shares lessons learned from the deep topsoil futures she and her farming and ranching partners manage for and achieve. The case studies, science, and examples presented a compelling testament to the global, rapidly growing soil health movement." (Abe Collins, cofounder of LandStream and founder of Collins Grazing)
“Our global agricultural production systems are frequently at war with ecosystem health and Mother Nature. In this book, Nicole is declaring peace with nature and provides us with the science and guidelines to join the regenerative agriculture movement while increasing profits.” (Terry McCosker of Resource Consulting Services in Australia)
“These food producers are taking actions to imitate natural systems more closely,” says Masters. “[T]hey are rewarded with more efficient nutrient, carbon, and water cycles, improved plant and animal health, nutrient density, reduced stress, and ultimately, profitability.”
In spite of the challenges food producers face, Masters’ book shows even incredibly degraded landscapes can be regenerated through mimicking natural systems and focusing on the soil first.

A storytelling style
Nicole gives us case studies and (enough) science and we just think she's telling us a good yarn - which is quite an achievement. If she criss crosses back over the same material - it's because the point needs to be driven home - like the good educator that she is, repeating information in various ways and from various angles so all of the audience can comprehend it. She brings a masterful bredth to the topic of soil and weaves her many influences and modalities and pasion to deliver a diverse and full picture of what we can't see going on beneath our feet. A great narrative listen!

Shifting the paradigm on agriculture
A deep and profound look into soil and agriculture. Nicole Masters is a great writer and narrator (despite being a Kiwi ;) ). Loved her book as much as I did her workshop.

Soil Science at its most interesting
I loved this book so much I bought the hard copy as it makes it easier to go back to the more technical parts when discussing with like minded people. Nicole is a very knowledgeable lady and it was lovely to hear small stories of parts of the country I am familiar with. Love her in depth knowledge and dedication to the subject.
