SOS save our soils (boek)

How regenerative food and farming will save your health and the planet

You’re in the supermarket with two crying children, an organic tomato in your
left hand and a non-organic one in the right.

A complex choice: which is better for you and your children, and why?

Your three meals a day determine your health and shape our planet’s health and future too.
Every cent spent is a vote for either destruction or regeneration.

What kind of food production system could we create that would benefit everyone?

These are questions that Louis De Jaeger has been wrestling with since the age of eighteen.

He takes you on a rollercoaster ride from New York to the south of France,
and from Central America to the deserts of Morocco, consulting farmers, activists,
professors, top doctors and foodies, and he isn’t afraid to confront Bayer and
Monsanto to find answers.

Discover the fascinating relationship between plants and soil creatures.

How can agricultural methods influence the climate and weather?
How should we tackle issues like organic farming, GMOs and nitrogen?
How should we interpret protests by farmers?

But most importantly: how can you be part of the solution?

Na een reis van 5 jaar rond de wereld in slow travel modus zag Louis De Jaeger (27) hoe de mensheid de wereld aan het vernielen is. Hij besloot om dit niet zomaar te laten gebeuren. Zijn missie is om de wereld zo duurzaam mogelijk te maken. Hij schreef meer dan 50 opiniestukken over duurzame thema’s, richtte samen met bekende Vlamingen de ByeByeGrass-beweging op en stichtte het tuin- en landschapsarchitectenbureau Commensalist waarmee hij tuinen van 20 vierkante meter tot projecten van 200 hectare omvormt over de grenzen heen. Nu zet hij zich in om zoveel mogelijk oppervlakte grond te transformeren in voedselbossen en agro-ecologie.
