City of Dirt: A Field Guide to the Living City invites you to see the world in a revolutionary new way. It reframes our entire agricultural and ecological landscape through the powerful metaphor of a living, breathing metropolis waiting to be discovered right beneath our feet.

This book is a journey that reimagines:

The Foundation: The soil is not inert dirt, but the city's living infrastructure; water is its commerce; and the air is its energy grid.

The Architecture: Regenerative practices like no-till farming, polycultures, and cover cropping are presented as the blueprints for a resilient and beautiful city, replacing the vulnerable "suburbs" of monoculture.

The Citizens: Plants and animals are the city's industrious inhabitants, each with specific civic duties-from the nitrogen-fixing bacteria running the public utilities to the earthworms serving as sanitation engineers.

Our Role: The book casts the reader not as a factory manager imposing control, but as a humble and observant "Steward," a city manager whose goal is to help the city thrive on its own terms.

Covering everything from the microscopic life in the soil to the creation of a thriving local economy and the sacred act of saving seeds, City of Dirt is more than a guide to gardening or farming-it is a map to a more hopeful, abundant, and collaborative future.
