You’ll Devour These 5 Books on the Future of Food
When we think about climate change, we usually think of rising sea levels, more frequent storms, and an abbreviated ski season. But perhaps even more pressing is climate change’s effect on food. That’s right, before long you’ll actually be able to taste our planet warming up. So what should we expect? What does the future look like for our favorite food? Check out the five eye-opening reads below to find out.
What Your Food Ate: How To Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health
David R. Montgomery and Anne Biklé take us far beyond the well-worn adage to deliver a new truth: the roots of good health start on farms. What Your Food Ate marshals evidence from recent and forgotten science to illustrate how the health of the soil ripples through to that of crops, livestock, and ultimately us.
What We Know (and Don’t Know) About Fat Original
We all know it, think we know it, or have heard it for sure: fat is bad. But the notion that we can tar all fats with a negative brush belies what they do inside our bodies. Fats direct and guide critical aspects of mammalian biology, activating or suppressing genes that govern metabolism and immunity. They can influence whether we are happy or sad, thinking clearly or wading through mental fog.
Sally Skoufis: “Reach for the stars, perchance you might achieve”
“Reach for the stars, perchance you might achieve.” My father is animated when he shares this because his father shared it with him, and his grandfather with his father, and so on. My family freely permitted me to dream big and consider infinite possibilities. I took this sentiment and ran with it. As a part of our series about women who are shaking things up in their industry, I had the pleasure of interviewing Sally Skoufis.
Junk Food Is Bad For Plants, Too - Issue 90: Something Green - Nautilus
Most of us are familiar with the much-maligned Western diet and its mainstay of processed food products found in the middle aisles of the grocery store. Some of us beeline for the salty chips and others for the sugar-packed cereals. But we are not the only ones eating junk food. An awful lot of crops grown in the developed world eat a botanical version of this diet—main courses of conventional fertilizers with pesticide sides.
How to Support Soil Life
Design Learn how to feed and protect the underground communities that underpin plant health By Anne Bikle Fine Gardening - Issue 195 The vitality and resiliency of every garden depends on plants interacting with a vast array of insects, fungi, and microorganisms, especially those that make their homes in the soil.

Learn How to Support Soil Life
The vitality and resiliency of every garden depends on plants interacting with a vast array of insects, fungi, and microorganisms, especially those that make their homes in the soil. Through their root systems, plants participate in diverse underground communities where nutrients are continuously exchanged and recycled. The above-ground parts of a plant also play a role, with certain soil dwellers relying on material such as dead leaves as a food source.
How to Turn Dirt Into Soil
Photos by Saxon Holt/Illustrations by Enkhbayar Munkh-Erdene When we broke ground for a garden at our 80-year-old house in the middle of Seattle, we took the most obvious thing for granted. Again and again, we crisscrossed the yard surrounding our new home, imagining where we’d plant trees to screen us from the street and neighbors. We fantasized about where we’d sit on warm summer evenings.

What Your Microbiome Wants for Dinner - Issue 31: Stress - Nautilus
Let’s admit it. Few of us like to think, much less talk about our colons. But you might be surprised at the importance of what gets into your colon and what goes on inside it. This little-loved part of our bodies is actually less an onboard garbage can and more like the unlikeliest medicine chest. There is abundant medical evidence that diet greatly influences health, and new science is showing us why this is so.
