Since the dawn of agriculture, great civilizations have sunk into poverty after destroying their once fertile land. Today, few people realize how close we are to experiencing the same fate if we dont take action. In Growing a Revolution, geologist David R. Montgomery leads us on a journey through history and around the world to see how innovative farmers are ditching the plow, mulching cover crops, and adopting complex rotations to restore the soil. In their stories he finds the foundation for the next agricultural revolution: a soil health revolution. Cutting through standard debates about conventional versus organic agriculture, Montgomery shows how new regenerative methods heal damaged environments and improve farmers bottom lines. Merging ancient wisdom with modern science, these farmers have developed simple, cost-effective ways to pull carbon from the atmosphere and feed the world. Growing a Revolution flips the script, showing how agriculture can help solve our modern environmental woes.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 577.57 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.57 MONTGOMERY Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.57 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.57 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.57 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.57 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 577.57 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.57 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
