“For years many of us involved in regenerative agriculture have been touting the soil health - plant health - animal health – human health connection but no one has tied them all together like Nicole does in “For the Love of Soil”!
Globally recognized soil advocate and agroecologist Nicole Masters delivers the solution to rewind the clock on this increasingly critical soil crisis in her first book, For the Love of Soil.
This book translates the often complex and technical know-how of soil into more digestible terms through case studies from regenerative farmers, growers, and ranchers in Australasia and North America.
Along with sharing key soil health principles and restoration tools, For the Love of Soil provides land managers with an action plan to kickstart their soil resource’s well-being, no matter the scale.

"This book has changed my outlook on soil. I new it was alive with life, but not to the extent that Nicole explains. Her passion brings the microscopic creatures to life in a way that’ll have you looking at the soil as an untapped jungle full of wildlife that actually helps you grow your food. My veggie garden will never be the same."

"This book was so wonderfully narrated! I so learned much from the soil science, perspectives and practices employed to improve soil that I bought the hard cover to share with my farmer guy. We are looking for a way to make things better on our farm and this book covered many different locales and situations, explaining the science simply and with a passion that can work to move those set in their ways, to better ways."
