About the Author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Didi Pershouse is the founder of the Center for Sustainable Medicine, where she developed a model for systems-based ecological medicine that restores health to individuals as well as the social and natural communities around them. Over the past 22 years, her health-care practice has expanded in its scope from treating individual patients to treating whole systems. In addition to raising two sons and seeing patients in Thetford Center, Vermont, she also travels and teaches around the continent with the Soil Carbon Coalition. She teaches about the interrelationships between healthy soils, shifting weather patterns, economic forces, and human health; trains community leaders in self-care and peer support; develops curricula about biological work and landscape function; and works with farmers and ranchers to restore the living systems that run the underground carbon and water cycles that make life on this planet possible.
ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR Peter Donovan is the founder of the Soil Carbon Coalition. He has herded sheep, played piano for ballet classes, and worked on cattle ranches, but he now spends most of his time touring North America in his school-bus home, facilitating workshops, and measuring changes in soil carbon and water cycles. The drawings in this book are from his travels. He has reported widely on innovative land managers; most of his articles can be found at managingwholes.com.

Didi Pershouse is the founder of the Land and Leadership Initiative, and the Center for Sustainable Medicine. She developed a practice and theoretical framework for systems-based ecological medicine—to restore health to people as well as the environmental and social systems around them. After 22 years of clinical work with patients, Pershouse now travels internationally as a speaker, educator, and consultant. She was one of five speakers at the United Nations-FAO World Soil Day in 2017.

Pershouse is a skilled facilitator, who brings conservative and liberal organizations together into effective working groups with common goals: improving soil health, public health, food and water security, and regional resilience through simple changes in land management. Both online and in-person, her participatory workshops engage the public, farmers and ranchers, policy makers, investors, and scientists in living-systems thinking and mutual resourcing, to help them find effective interventions.

In 2018, she founded the Land and Leadership Initiative, and the "Can we Rehydrate California?" Initiative. She is a Planning Commissioner for her town, a member of the Vermont State-appointed Payment For Ecosystem Services and Soil Health Working Group and is on the board of directors of the Soil Carbon Coalition and the Vermont Healthy Soils Coalition. She led a successful effort to conserve the Zebedee Headwaters Wetlands while serving as a Vermont Conservation Commissioner.

She is currently working on projects with the UN-FAO Farmer Field School program, and the Andhra Pradesh Community Managed Natural Farming Initiative (APCNF) in India (involving over 700,000 farmers).

She is the author of The Ecology of Care: Medicine, Agriculture, Money, and the Quiet Power of Human and Microbial Communities; and Understanding Soil Health and Watershed Function: A Teacher's Manual (available as a free download at www.landandleadership.org). She is a contributing author for the Regenerative Economy Collaborative (on Medium.com); Health in the Anthropocene (Univ. of Waterloo); the upcoming Barefoot Guide to Climate Change; and the upcoming volume Climate Crisis and Creation Care (Cambridge Scholars.)
