Featured Resource: For the Love of Soil

Love requires daily devotion and long-term commitment to a relationship. Daily devotion and long-term commitment are demonstrated through tangible actions and ongoing strategies to benefit people and everyone involved in the relationship. Agroecologist, educator, teacher, and author Nicole Masters takes a soil-first agroecological approach in her 2019 book outlining strategies to build soil health and regenerate food production systems no matter the size or scale. Nicole argues that farmers and land managers have to know their context and work closely to mimic nature and better fit into the landscape rather than trying to control and dominate the landscape.

 

Soil and landscapes have born the brunt of people’s efforts to control and dominate rather than to care, nurture, and love soil as a living biological ecosystem. Given present environmental challenges, the urgent need to regenerate landscapes, and the way we approach food production, For the Love of Soil by Nicole Masters provides not only strategies for triage but ecologically sound ways to show daily devotion and long-term commitment to soil, yourself, and the landscape in which you work and live.
