That Gabe Brown video convinced me a couple years ago. I agree, it is the most convincing soil health video and I share it every chance I get.
His book, Dirt To Soil, is what convinced me. It was the first time in a while that I felt optimism about the future of the planet. It also changed how I viewed the morals of meat consumption.
Thank you for the added resource links
