Webcast sponsored by the Irving K.
Barber Learning Centre. Author David Montgomery has discovered that the
three-foot-deep skin of our planet is slowly being eroded away, with
potentially devastating results. In this engaging lecture, Montgomery
draws from his book 'Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations' to trace the
role of soil use and abuse in the history of societies, and discuss how
the rise of organic and no-till farming bring hope for a new
agricultural revolution.
