Seems to be quite a lot of progress within the research world on the gut microbiome and the wide ranging effects on human health. Quite a lot of parallels with the soil health discussion IMO.
They perform remarkably similar function, too.Big similarity between humus and dietary fibre.
Thanks, downloaded it and a third of the way through- can't put it downTry reading the book "the diet myth" by Tim Spector. A great read, it changed my mind
He sure does, incredibly similar to what you learn about soil microbiology, really.He knows his stuff is all I can say!

I started to rethink about this when I watched this:

I am naturally a bit cautious about of lot material in this field because I think there is a lot claims that use a narrow evidence base and then overreach themselves. I only watched this because I thought that Stanford would probably do a bit of due diligence on their speakers which might reduce the chance of the speaker being a crank.
If they do not wish to change the surely that will be their problem in the long run. Of course it may backfire on us all if we are to become a more cooperative industry.I am sure you guys will have already seen this in the other thread, but @martian did well posting the link, its a great, straight to the point presentation. These guys are so very correct. Had some great days with Gary Zimmer in the states too.
But how on earth do you go about trying to get an average farmer to listen? the farmer who's idea of constructive conversation is to moan about black grass, the lack of chemicals blah blah - is it that they just don't care?.....can't understand?.....too greedy?......lack of education and imagination?......how do you go about trying to change modern farming attitudes?
