Why Soil Health = Human Health

Hello and welcome back to STATE OF MIND with me, Grace Kingswell.    Today my guest is Abby Rose of Farmerama Radio and Vidacycle. Abby is an independent, influential female voice within the regenerative farming world, and in particular she’s really clued up on the role of soil in determining the future of our health from what we put in our bodies, to building resilience against extreme weather and climate change.    Abby is actually a physicist by trade, but comes from a farming family and about 5 years ago started getting really into soil health and its impact on our planet. In this episode we chat about how our gut microbiome is very similar to the soil microbiome, and how the two are connected, the difference between grass and grain fed, the way plants connect with each other via their amazing network under the ground and thankfully we end on a positive note about our role as human’s in the future of the planet.    This episode is sponsored by Exhale coffee, coffee that’s free from mycotoxins, heavy metals and pesticides.
