We know that our diet influences our health. But is there more to
the adage “you are what you eat?” Connecting the dots from
agriculture to medicine, geologist David R. Montgomery and
biologist Anne Biklé argue we overlook the other half of a healthy
diet: how we grow our food. Journeying from research labs to the
fields of regenerative farmers, they uncover scientific and
historical evidence for how farming practices—so often disruptive
to microbial partnerships—influence soil health and shape the
types and amounts of health-promoting minerals, fats and
phytochemicals in our crops, meat and dairy—and thus ourselves.
Understanding these connections has profound implications for what
we eat and how we grow it, now and in the future. A capstone work
from lauded authors, What Your Food Ate is a story both sobering
and inspiring: what’s good for the soil is good for us, too.
