REFERENCES

 
What another great guest - I really hope that you enjoyed this episode with Abby - who gave us some fantastic insights into how critical the health of the soil is in terms of farming and what impact that can potentially have on our health.
 
Interestingly - the release of this podcast coincides with a new film release on Netflix this week called Kiss The Ground. Kiss the Ground is a full-length documentary narrated by Woody Harrelson that sheds light on an alternative approach to farming called “regenerative agriculture” that has the potential to balance our climate, replenish our vast water supplies, and feed the world.  Do check it out.
