Product Description
by Jeff Tkach (Author)
When I was 37, I got sick and thought I was going to die.
The seventh doctor I saw told me I could farm my body back to health. I had no idea what he meant, but I was desperate, so I went with it. As I followed where it led, I began to see how deeply my health is connected to the health of the soil my food comes from.
That realization opened the door to a deeper understanding of how our food is grown and the vital role farming plays in all our lives. It pulled me into the economics, politics, and cultural implications of agriculture and introduced me to countless people who are waking up to these same truths.
Eventually, I became CEO of Rodale Institute, a global leader in the regenerative organic farming movement. Now I spend my days surrounded by people who are constantly learning, exploring, and innovating new ways to grow healthier food in healthier soil.
This book is about that movement.
Because the farm is here.
