Not Just Dirt: Revitalizing Soils With Regenerative Agriculture Principles

Just Not Dirt is a book helping soil caretakers to look at ways of managing regeneratively. That is building soil adding carbon back into the soil ecosystem. The soil health principles are global, they are true around the world. How you do it will have a regional flavour and agronomics. Topics extensively covered are the five soil health principles: keep a vegetative plant growing, increase plant diversity, reduce tillage, reduce use of synthetic inputs, and livestock integration, plus the rationale of why these are important. There are seven producer's stories telling of their regenerative agriculture journey from Western Canada and Western Australia.
