Summary of Soil, Grass, and Cancer

Soil, Grass, and Cancer by S. R. Sanderson is a groundbreaking work on the relationship between soils, pasture grazing, and cancer. It explains the way soils, pasture plants, soil organisms, and animal grazing interact to create a complex system that supports human health and well-being. The book shows that a balanced and diverse soil biota, combined with appropriate pasture management, can improve crop and livestock yields while providing health benefits. It also outlines strategies for improving soil health and pasture production. In addition, the book addresses the increasing prevalence of cancer and other chronic disease in farmers and agricultural workers, and suggests new ways of managing soils and pasture plants that might lead to healthier individuals and communities.
