PREORDER: From Degradation to Regeneration: Why Regenerative Agriculture Is Not Yet Mainstream And How We Can Make It So

From Degradation to Regeneration
Why Regenerative Agriculture Is Not Yet Mainstream — And How We Can Make It So

If regenerative agriculture offers healthier soils, more resilient farms, and a better future for food production, why isn't everyone doing it?

In From Degradation to Regeneration, soil health advocate and agricultural leader Jon Stika tackles one of the most important questions facing modern agriculture. Drawing on decades of experience working with farmers, ranchers, researchers, and conservation professionals, Stika explores why conventional agricultural systems continue to dominate despite mounting evidence supporting regenerative agriculture, soil health management, and biological farming systems.

This insightful book examines the hidden forces driving soil degradation and reveals how modern agriculture often overlooks the living biological systems that make healthy soils possible. Through science, history, real-world examples, and practical solutions, Stika demonstrates how rebuilding soil function can improve farm profitability, ecosystem resilience, water quality, food quality, and long-term agricultural sustainability.

More than a critique of the current system, From Degradation to Regeneration provides a roadmap for change. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how soils function as living ecosystems and why adopting regenerative farming practices, soil restoration strategies, and ecological agriculture principles is essential for the future of farming and human health.

Whether you're a farmer, educator, policymaker, consultant, or concerned consumer, this book offers a compelling vision for restoring our soils and transforming agriculture from the ground up.
