Скачать или смотреть The Death of NPK: Why Lazy Soils and Broken Yields Start with Modern Agronomy

Every farmer knows the frustration following the book, applying the right NPK, investing in chemistry, only to watch soil resilience disappear.


In this powerful episode of Soil Talks™, RMBA Founder Mark sits down with Gary Zimmer, the godfather of biological farming, to expose the broken mindset of modern agronomy and chart the path forward for the next agricultural revolution.


Topics Covered:

• Why “perfect lab numbers” still lead to dead soil
• The six foundational rules of biological farming
• How calcium drives the entire mineral and biological system
• The link between dairy cow digestion and soil biology
• Why regenerative and organic aren’t enough and “biological” is the future
• How farmers can earn the right to cut inputs, pesticides, and nitrogen

⚡ Key Quote:
“Soil isn’t a factory. It’s a massive living digestive system and we’ve been feeding it like it’s dead.”


🎯 Who It’s For:
Farmers ready to move beyond NPK, consultants rethinking soil health, and anyone tired of the chemical treadmill.
