Now conventional agriculture is threatening disaster for the world's growing population. In \u003cem\u003eGrowing a Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e, geologist David R. Montgomery travels the world, meeting farmers at the forefront of an agricultural movement to restore soil health. From Kansas to Ghana, he sees why adopting the three tenets of conservation agriculture--ditching the plow, planting cover crops, and growing a diversity of crops--is the solution. When farmers restore fertility to the land, this helps feed the world, cool the planet, reduce pollution, and return profitability to family farms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51379086459103,"sku":"9780393356090","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/lrcW37Qg1L9780393356090.webp?v=1789268528"},{"product_id":"rocks-dont-lie-a-geologist-investigates-noahs-flood-paperback","title":"Rocks Don't Lie: A Geologist Investigates Noah's Flood - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah's Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the world's flood stories and--drawing from historic works by theologians, natural philosophers, and scientists--discovered the counterintuitive role Noah's Flood played in the development of both geology and creationism. Steno, the grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology's founding principles based on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries later, the founders of modern creationism based their irrational view of a global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer's eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive nature of truth, whether viewed through the lens of science or religion, and how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51379088851167,"sku":"9780393346244","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/KoGvfntV4X9780393346244.webp?v=1789268535"},{"product_id":"regen-a-new-future-for-farming-food-and-health-hardcover","title":"Regen: A New Future for Farming, Food, and Health - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA century of conventional farming has left our planet with sick soil. Once fertile farmlands are now dusty and degraded, accelerating food insecurity, biodiversity loss, and climate change. David Montgomery has devoted decades to investigating this damage. \u003cem\u003eReGen\u003c\/em\u003e, his manifesto, lays out practical and productive solutions to recover the health of our land through soil-building regenerative agriculture. Drawing on the work of farmers, historians, and researchers, he forcefully articulates the power of combining cover cropping, no or low tillage, and crop diversity to rebuild soil health. The combination allows farmers to greatly reduce or eliminate synthetic fertilize and pesticide use, and can help address a number of today's most pressing problems. Along the way, he takes apart common myths around conventional farming, animal agriculture, and plant-based diets. Charting a course for action, Montgomery lays out ten policy recommendations--from subsidizing young farmers to establishing a national network of demonstration farms--to safeguard the future of our food supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eReGen\u003c\/em\u003e shows us how reforming the way we see and treat the land can address critically underappreciated and yet eminently solvable problems to restore the health of our land and secure civilization's agricultural foundation--and a healthy future for our society and ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51382215049439,"sku":"9781324117742","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/GzdNRiqp4u9781324117742.webp?v=1789286556"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/david-r-montgomery.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
