The Soil Beneath Us: The Forgotten Science That Will Determine Whether We Can Feed the World - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Beneath your feet, right now, a civilization more ancient and complex than our own is keeping you alive.
A teaspoon of healthy topsoil holds more living organisms than all the humans who have ever walked the Earth. These bacteria, fungi, archaea, and nematodes form a chemical economy so intricate it still defies complete scientific description. For a century, industrial agriculture treated this world as little more than a growth medium — and we are only beginning to understand the cost.
Tracing the work of scientists, farmers, and policy-makers on four continents, this book follows the slow, urgent rediscovery that we cannot engineer our way past biology. From microscopy labs to windswept North Dakota fields to international climate negotiations, it reveals how a new generation of researchers is learning to read the soil as the primary text of our agricultural future.
Rigorously honest about what the science can and cannot yet prove, this is not a book of easy answers. It is something rarer: a clear-eyed account of an open frontier — one that may determine whether we can feed ten billion people.
The soil is the story. And we are finally starting to listen.
