Beneath our feet lies one of the most complex and essential ecosystems on Earth — a living world that sustains every breath we take and every meal we eat. Yet for decades, we’ve treated soil as mere dirt: something to be dug, paved, poisoned, and forgotten.

In Hope in the Humus, Alex Southwick uncovers the hidden life of the ground below us and the extraordinary potential it holds to heal the planet. Travelling from regenerative farms to city gardens and ancient forests, Southwick meets the scientists, growers, and visionaries restoring vitality to the soil — and, in doing so, rebuilding the foundations of climate stability and human wellbeing.

Both intimate and expansive, this is a story of renewal — of how, by tending to the smallest organisms in the dark, we might rediscover a deeper relationship with the world above.

Gentle, wise, and ultimately uplifting, Hope in the Humus reminds us that recovery begins where life itself began: in the soil.
