About this listen
Beyond organic - a practical guide to nutrient-dense food
Vegetables, fruits, and grains are a major source of vital nutrients, but centuries of intensive agriculture have depleted our soils to historic lows. As a result, the broccoli you consume today may have less than half the vitamins and minerals that the equivalent serving would have contained a hundred years ago.
This is a matter of serious concern, since poor nutrition has been linked to myriad health problems including cancer, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. For optimum health we must increase the nutrient density of our foods to the levels enjoyed by previous generations.
To grow produce of the highest nutritional quality the essential minerals lacking in our soil must be replaced, but this re-mineralization calls for far more attention to detail than the simple addition of composted manure or NPK fertilizers.
The Intelligent Gardener demystifies the process, while simultaneously debunking much of the false and misleading information perpetuated by both the conventional and organic agricultural movements. In doing so, it conclusively establishes the link between healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people.

I learnt so much!
This book is amazing. I learn so much about soil and health. The story is very interesting and engaging. The second half is more heady and would be good to have the paper copy to look at the worksheets. Overall the information is very useful and I look forward to reading it again.

Brilliant book for people interested in soil and growing strong ediables.
The book is read by the author.
This book is brilliant in its depth of knowledge and covering history of how the nutrients in the soil affects health of people but also the stability of the civilisation.
i didn't get some parts of it at first, so relistened.... I gained a huge amount of knowledge from the 2nd time. I have now listener to it 4 times. I feel each time gives me a little more.
Highly recommend, especially considering the climate uncertainty we are facing with floods and droughts that have been occuring
