Cows Save the Planet and other improbable ways of restoring soil to heal the earth
Judith D. Schwartz
Cows saving the planet? Why not? An idea that sounds preposterous begins to make sense when you take a soil's-eve view of our current ecological predicament.
In Cows Save the Planet, journalist Judith D. Schwartz looks at soil as a crucible for our many overlapping environmental, economic, and social crises.
Drawing from the work of thinkers and doers, renegade scientist, and institutional whistle-blowers, Schwartz reveal that for many of these problems-climate change, desertification, biodiversity loss, droughts, floods, malnutrition, and obesity-there are positive, alternative scenarios. In each case, our ability to turn these crises into opportunities depends on how we treat the soil.
