The dramatic rise in chronic illnesses is no surprise at all in light of what you share here. I’ve been learning about how our food is toxic as well as as nutrient-depleted since it’s grown in nutrient-depleted soil, but you’ve taken that information to a whole new level here.
Thank you for writing this, it’s very important information. Sadly, this post likely won’t get nearly the amount of traction that it should. But I am still immensely grateful that you wrote it.
Thanks Linnea! I'm not sure how we came to believe that soil was inert instead of alive, but we’ve got our work cut out for us to heal that mindset and it’s effects on the land.
Thank you Michael! I agree, we are just starting to remember that soil=health. Or as indigenous elder Freda Huson said, “Heal the people, heal the land. Heal the land, heal the people.”
Thank you, and that's absolutely true. I'm thinking this morning
about the damage done in the name of exceeding limits (the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico, salty soils in the Colorado River Basin). There is a balance and we were meant to be a part of that balance.

Another good article on soil health. Soil is a living being, folks. We need good soil and good water.
Thank you Mike, you're right healthy soil and water are inescapably essential.

You may enjoy the work of @Robin Motzer and Wildlands. Very connected to what you discuss here.
I'll definitely check it out
We certainly do. But I think folks are beginning to wake up to this.
Very important.
Thank you Ann, it’s really getting impossible to escape all of the ways we are interconnected! :)
Protect and strengthen soil. Great article!

Same with plants and animals! Thanks Amy
Great article Amy!! This is exactly why we do what we do on The Back 80. Take care of the soil and it will take care of you!!

Thank you Caroline! May we all remember we are made of soil and stardust.
