1990
Bernard Jensen and Mark Anderson
A look at the decline in soil health and overall food quality due to modern agricultural practices.
Key Takeaways:
- Argues that soil depletion and industrial farming have “emptied” modern foods of vital nutrients, weakening immune defenses.
- Connects personal health problems with ecological degradation, especially erosion, chemicals, and monoculture agriculture.
- Urges a return to mineral-rich soils, organic farming, and whole foods as both a medical and planetary imperative.
