520    An inspiring vision for restoring the soil that feeds us 
       all and turns agriculture into a solution for 
       environmental crises 
520    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 don't 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 
520    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
