    What We don't Know about Our Soil Microbiome with Erin Wiedmer

    Have you ever noticed that you don't have to clean insects off your windshield after a long drive anymore? It might seem like a minor convenience, but it's a symptom of a much larger, silent crisis happening right under our feet. Welcome to Microbiome Mavericks. In this episode, I, Dr. Amine Zorgani, am joined by Erin Wiedmer, a soil health expert to uncover the secrets of the world beneath us: the soil microbiome. We explore the shocking degradation of our soil's health, tracing it back to the industrial chemicals and synthetic fertilizers that promised a revolution but delivered a silent depletion. Erin explains how the soil is the foundation of our entire terrestrial food chain and how its impoverishment directly impacts the nutrient density of our food and, ultimately, our own gut health. Join us for a fascinating conversation that connects the dots between a teaspoon of soil, the food on your plate, and your overall well-being. You'll learn not just the 'why' behind this crisis, but also what farmers and consumers alike can do to start healing our planet from the ground up. Enjoy the episode, and please follow and share!
