David R. Montgomery is a professor at the University of Washington and a 2008 MacArthur Fellow.
"How can humanity feed its burgeoning billions when one-third of
agricultural soil is degraded? Pondering that question propelled
geologist David Montgomery on a three-decade, six-continent survey
of farmland. The insights gleaned add nuance to his pointed
critiques of agrotechnology and organic farming, but it's the
findings on rapid soil restoration that compel."
*Nature*
"Brilliant, well researched, eloquent, and deeply hopeful."
*Denis Hayes, founder of Earth Day*
"A wise and grounded book — restored soils are the solution."
*Jules N. Pretty, Professor of Environment and Society, University
of Essex, UK*
"David Montgomery... is one of our most eloquent and precise earth
science communicators... [He] has a knack for opening our minds to
large, critically important questions."
