Being a long time 'doom bat' regarding the fate of the natural world, Growing a Revolution gave me hope that there is a real possibility of revolutionizing agriculture with the result of growing more food, employing people, and putting carbon back into the ground., Montgomery has the rare talent of making complex scientific topics not only understandable but truly fascinating. Growing a Revolution is both exceptionally enlightening and tremendously enjoyable. Highly recommended reading., This is a such an important book...thanks to those who told me to read it...Everyone interested in what we should eat and how we should farm should read it., In the past couple of years, an awful lot of smart people have started talking very seriously about the state of the planet's soil. If you want to understand what's at stake, and learn about the exciting possibilities, this book is a fine starting point., Surprising, inspiring, and thoroughly engaging. . . . Relevant to farmers, backyard gardeners, and everyone who cares about our future, this is a clarion call that should not be ignored. -- Booklist In his reader-friendly style, Montgomery describes the environmental crossroads at which we stand and shows us not only the devastation but the potential solution that exists right beneath our feet. -- Hope Jahren, author of Lab Girl In the past couple of years, an awful lot of smart people have started talking very seriously about the state of the planet's soil.

Ambitious and thought-provoking. A fascinating, thoughtful, and hopeful adventure., Growing a Revolution presents a clear-eyed examination of a solution to the challenges we face in feeding the world. A joy to read with the bounce and flow of a great biography. I couldn't recommend it more., This is a Sand County Almanac of agriculture, a Walden Pond of loam and tilth, a paradigm-bending journey into the principles that guide the life beneath our feet and thus the life that nourishes us., Montgomery has written another classic. Growing a Revolution is one of the most important books ever written--an engaging and revealing service to human society and our planet.

Synopsis
Finalist for the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award "A call to action that underscores a common goal: to change the world from the ground up." --Dan Barber, author of The Third Plate, For centuries, agricultural practices have eroded the soil that farming depends on, stripping it of the organic matter vital to its productivity. Now conventional agriculture is threatening disaster for the world's growing population. In Growing a Revolution , geologist David R. Montgomery travels the world, meeting farmers at the forefront of an agricultural movement to restore soil health. From Kansas to Ghana, he sees why adopting the three tenets of conservation agriculture--ditching the plow, planting cover crops, and growing a diversity of crops--is the solution. When farmers restore fertility to the land, this helps feed the world, cool the planet, reduce pollution, and return profitability to family farms., Finalist for the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award"The insights gleaned add nuance to [Montgomery's] pointed critiques of agrotechnology and organic farming, but it's the findings on rapid soil restoration that compel."--Nature"A call to action that underscores a common goal: to change the world from the ground up."--Dan Barber, author of The Third Plate
