A scientists manifesto addressing a soil loss crisis accelerated by poor conservation practices and climate change
 
The ground beneath our feet is slipping away as we lose the precious soil that sustains us. Jo Handelsmans writingas rich and life supporting as the soil itselfis a riveting warning.Alan Alda, actor, writer, and host of the podcast Clear+Vivid with Alan Alda
 
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 soils 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.
