On this episode of the Soil Sisters Podcast, meet bestselling author, educator, and citizen scientist Matt Powers and explore the soil science behind regenerative agriculture—and how it’s being taught from classrooms to farms around the world. Matt shares how his unexpected journey through public education led to the creation of his “seed to table” curriculum, now used by everyone from homeschool families to universities. This conversation dives into the living biology of soil—and how farmers, ranchers, gardeners, and even consumers can better understand the systems that grow our food. You’ll learn how tools like microscopy, DNA testing, and mineral analysis can reveal the full story of your soil—and how even simple at-home tests can help you start improving soil health today. Matt also shares his vision for a more transparent, community-driven future in agriculture, where growers can compare results, share data, and identify what’s truly working in regenerative systems. Whether you're producing food or simply want to better understand where it comes from, this episode offers a powerful look beneath the surface.","meta_description":"What if you could actually see what’s happening in your soil—and use that to grow healthier food and more resilient farms?
