Grown to Heal makes a simple but urgent case: the food that's best for us also tastes better, sells better, and heals the land it's grown in. Drawing on eighteen wide-ranging conversations with the scientists, farmers, chefs and entrepreneurs remaking the food system and building on a decade of the pioneering podcast Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food, editors Antonella Ilaria Totaro and Koen van Seijen trace a single thread connecting soil health, food quality and human wellbeing.



Structured in three parts – Planting Seeds, Taking Root and Bearing Fruit – the book moves from the science of nutrient density to real-world case studies of businesses proving that regenerative practices pay. Readers meet a Michelin-starred chef for whom flavor is a direct readout of soil health, a citrus grower whose regenerative harvest tested at eight times normal nutrient levels, and a Tulsa clinic that saved $750,000 in healthcare costs by prescribing vegetables to patients with type 2 diabetes.



Rigorous yet accessible, Grown to Heal speaks to all of us – farmers, policymakers, investors, eaters, alike –and shows that restoring the health of soil, food and people can also be good business and is one of our key paths toward a regenerated, thriving civilization.
