Description

What if the soil beneath our feet was more than dirt—what if it was a living, breathing factory of life, memory, and communication?

In this extended conversation, Tim Sallin sits down with Buford Creech, agronomist, soil steward, and teacher, whose lifelong work bridges the worlds of science and faith. Together they explore the microscopic wonders of the rhizosphere, the role of fungi as soil architects, the miracle of photosynthesis, and the hidden chemistry that sustains plants and people alike.

They also look squarely at today’s challenges: unintended consequences of industrial agriculture, the tipping points facing global food systems, and the devastating impact of HLB (citrus greening) on Florida’s groves. Buford offers both practical regenerative strategies for farmers today and bold speculation on therapies yet to be explored.

Whether you’re a farmer, a scientist, or simply someone curious about the miracle of life, this is a rare chance to learn from a voice that sees the soil not just as chemistry, but as communion.
