Biological Approaches to Regenerative Soil Systems 2nd Edition
Biological Approaches to Regenerative Soil Systems, 2nd Edition by Norman Uphoff is an essential, practice-focused guide for anyone committed to rebuilding soil health and boosting farm resilience. Thoughtfully updated, this edition translates cutting-edge ecological science into actionable strategies for sustainable agriculture, agroecology, and regenerative land management.
Start transforming your land with clear, evidence-backed methods that prioritize soil biology: microbial stewardship, organic matter management, cover cropping, reduced tillage, and integrated nutrient cycling. Uphoff combines theory and real-world examples to show how biological processes restore fertility, increase water retention, reduce erosion, and sequester carbon—benefits that matter to smallholder farms and commercial operations across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Written for farmers, agronomists, extension agents, students, and policymakers, this book demystifies complex soil ecosystems while providing practical tools for implementation. You’ll find step-by-step approaches, comparative case studies from diverse climates, and guidance on measuring outcomes—making it both a teaching resource and a field manual.
Whether you’re transitioning to organic systems, enhancing crop resilience under climate stress, or seeking long-term productivity gains, Uphoff’s approachable scholarship delivers the insights needed to redesign systems around living soils. This edition emphasizes scalability and adaptation, helping you apply regenerative principles in your local context.
