From the Foreword This book, Geotherapy, with its multiplicity of perspectives focuses on three fundamental issues; healing the planet, stabilizing climate and feeding the human community. All are linked and interwoven in a story that begins with the soil and its stewardship and extends outward to encompass the whole planet... The chapters that follow represent the unfolding of a new paradigm that is deeply rooted in the teachings of nature. ... If the ideas laid out in Geotherapy were implemented, the capacity of the land to support economic activity would also diversify and expand... It could also engage a large percentage of the people around the world. Our future as a civilization may depend on returning to our roots and the mineral as well as the organic materials that sustain them... Geotherapy is an encyclopedia of ideas and tools for transforming the planet. The book is written by genuine earth stewards, most of who have field experience and a broad theoretical knowledge of the larger workings of the planet. Their experience spans many different climates, soils and cultures. This practical, get your hands-in-the soil manual is a good place to start to transform the world. -John Todd, Todd Ecological Design, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA From the Preface That carbon sequestration in soil being a win-win option is the common thread that links all 34 chapters of the Geotherapy into a coherent and informative book. ... Geotherapy supports the truism that If soils are not restored, crops will fail even if rains do not; hunger will perpetuate even with emphasis on biotechnology and genetically modified crops; civil strife and political instability will plague the developing world even with sermons on human rights and democratic ideals; and humanity will suffer even with great scientific strides. Political stability and global peace are threatened because of soil degradation, food insecurity, and desperateness. The time to act is now (Lal, Science, 2008). -Rattan Lal, The Ohio State University, Columbus, USA
