David Montgomery and Anne Biklé will draw from their latest book What Your Food Ate as well as their Dirt Trilogy to share the history and science underlying the burgeoning movement to consider soil health in farming and gardening. When farming and gardening practices nourish and conserve the grand symbiotic partnership between a plant and the trillions of soil organisms, especially the root microbiome, it ripples through to the health of crops, farm animals, and ultimately people. It turns out that what’s good for plants and the land is good for us too.
