“I was barely a dozen pages into The Soil Will Save Us when I felt the ground shifting under my feet—the literal ground, as in the composition of the rich humus of old-growth forests compared to the exhausted, scorched, and ruined ancient fields of global farming—and the psychic ground…. This is a remarkable book, which tells—with a light touch and a breezy, readable manner—a story of modern science of the most crucial importance.”
