This publication is not a technical book. Instead, it aims to help people move towards this mindset shift. The first chapter on soil is the bedrock of the whole book. It presents the kind of understanding of soil needed if we are to have any chance of successfully regenerating soils. The chapters that follow present practices that can help farmers transition to agriculture that prioritises soil health and is in greater harmony with nature. There is a list of references at the end of each chapter and a short glossary at the end of the book. The book has been made possible by the Healthy Soil Healthy Food (HSHF) initiative, jointly established by AFSA and SKI. This initiative has brought together 15 soil regeneration organisations working closely with smallholder farmers across the continent. Given COVID-19 risks and restrictions, the HSHF initiative held 12 online learning and sharing sessions from September to December 2020, during which the practices outlined in this publication were presented and discussed. The content of the book draws heavily on this material.
