Publisher's Summary
The problem of agriculture is as old as civilization. Throughout history, great societies that abused their land withered into poverty or disappeared entirely. Now we risk repeating this ancient story on a global scale due to ongoing soil degradation, a changing climate, and a rising population. But there is reason for hope. David R. Montgomery introduces us to farmers around the world at the heart of a brewing soil health revolution that could bring humanity's ailing soil back to life remarkably fast.
Growing a Revolution draws on visits to farms in the industrialized world and developing world to show that a new combination of farming practices can deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions to problems farmers face today. Montgomery explores why practices based on the principles of conservation agriculture help restore soil health and fertility. In addition, he discusses how these practices translate into farms that use less water, generate less pollution, and lower carbon emissions. Combining ancient wisdom with modern science, Growing a Revolution lays out a solid case for an inspiring vision where agriculture becomes the solution to environmental problems.

Everyone should real this!
This book was not only amazing in the information that it shares, buy also the way in which it was presented. Entertaining and informative! I look forward to a time that commercial agriculture and even backyard growers are aware of the importance of soil health!

conservation or regenerative?
The only thing I found frustrating about this book is that as far as reading about Regenerative Agriculture it took till chapter 9 to mention Regenerative Agriculture. This book actually focuses more on Conservation Agriculture. If like me your interest is in rengenerative and not conservation agriculture, its still worth a read as it touches on some methods and farms not discussed in the more well known Rengenerative Agriculture literature

Information dense and easy to listen to and digest
Information dense, conversational format and a must listen/read for all farmers, students of agriculture and ag policy makers. I learned much.

Oh My Plough!!
I challenge anyone, including those sceptics by design, not finding in this book a great sense of hope. from few dozens to few hundred I'm the Thousands are now returning co2 I'm to its original sink, the land. in the process they increase biodiversity, stop land erosion, stop using pesticides stop using fertiliser and grow more and better crops. the real green revolution is here and it tastes great.

factually correct.
loved all the real life examples showing comparisons between industrial farming and the new old ways making a return and why.
