A captivating and essential read that delves into the core of our survival, "Soil: The Unseen Hero" by Charles Massy is a heartfelt love letter to Mother Earth. This captivating book is perfect for fans of "Wilding" by Isabella Tree, offering a unique perspective on our most maligned resource.

It explores ancient hunger, modern sicknesses, and gastronomic delight, featuring fascinating topics such as poison gas, climate collapse, and the mind-blowing explanation of how rain is formed.
For far too long, we have not only neglected the land beneath us but also squandered and debased it through over-clearing, over-grazing, and over-ploughing. However, if we desire for our food to nourish us and to ensure the long-term health of our planet, we must understand the intricate workings of soil. Commentator and farmer Matthew Evans takes us on a journey to explore the origins, loss, and repair of soil, highlighting the significant impact of our actions in our backyards, farms, and dinner tables.
"Soil" serves as a poignant reminder that what we do in our daily lives can be a source of hope and change. It encourages us to stop treating the ground beneath our feet like dirt and to recognize the immense value and importance of this thin veneer of Earth that sustains us. By taking care of the soil, we take care of ourselves and future generations.
In conclusion, "Soil: The Unseen Hero" by Charles Massy is a must-read for anyone who cares about the environment, sustainability, and the future of our planet. It offers a captivating and informative perspective on soil, reminding us of its significance and the importance of taking action to protect and preserve it. Let us embrace this ode to the Earth and work together to create a healthier and more sustainable world for ourselves and future generations.
