Nice! Doing similar work over here, too. I’ve been really enjoying finding similar patterns between human health and soil health. The more I learn about each system, the more parallels I’m finding between the two (the land I steward gets healthier, and I seem to get healthier along with it!).
Looking forward to what you discover around the fermentation piece! Also hoping to improve my composting systems and bring in some BSF as part of that. 🙌 🪰
Master Cho of Korean Natural Farming fame observed codes buried within biblical text to understand nurturing the land. He also felt they viewed the body as a microcosm of all nature.
Mark Shepard who wrote "Restoration Agriculture" takes an approach of tossing seeds and allowing the land, rainfall, and local climate to decide. He further argues that societies collapse, when they rely on annual crops rather than perennials.
Society has created too many unnecessary jobs. The emphasis on farm annual crops over gathering from food forests could be seen as one of them. I'm eager to see your developments.
I love this concept and am excited to follow along and learn from your experiences. I have been a gardener for over 25 years and had not connected the soil to the gut’s microbiome. I now see the correlation clearly am excited to implement these ideas to the land that I steward. I am an advocate for utilizing natural resources to feed and nurture the soil. I appreciate ideas that help support this way of being …. Not fighting, nor artificially boosting the soil’s natural structure, but relying on nature and the environment to inform my decisions in the garden. Thank you.

You look at the title image and ask yourself:
“Why is it so difficult to understand that Earth’s skin is as much of an organ as our own?”
Earth’s skin needs healing. Tender, love and care.

This is a true soil champion
