On this episode...

Kristin talks about what got her interested in soil in the first place, and she details her journey from knowing very little about the relationship between carbon, plants, microorganisms and soil, to writing an entire book about it. Even armed with all of this knowledge, Kristin says she continues to be amazed by the way nature is so flawlessly designed to keep its ecosystems thriving--if only we would let it.

• How plants leak what Kristin calls “carbon fuel” to one another and what that does for the soil around them
• How many billion tons of carbon scientists estimate is released from the soil due to human activity (brace yourselves…)
