Down and dirty -- a pile of reasons to fall in love with soil | Nicole Masters | TEDxTauranga

Nicole Masters is an official soil expert, an Agroecologist actually, and she taught the audience the most interesting facts about soil.
Why we all need to get down and dirty to protect our most valuable natural resource that is slowly being compromised and diminishing. In 15 awe-inspiring minutes, we learned life really is in the soil.

In her business, Integrity Soils, Nicole provides agricultural extension services throughout Australia, North America and New Zealand empowering farmers, growers and consultants to make positive shifts in their operations. Nicole has been the spokesperson for the Association of Biological Farmers (ABF) since 2009, connecting people powerfully to their greatest resource, their soil.
