David Montgomery and Anne Biklé delve into the intricate relationship between soil health, plant health, and ruminant well-being. Their exploration underscores the importance of diverse pastures in the diets of ruminants, impacting the nutritional quality of meats consumed by humans. By focusing on the rumen's metabolic terrain and its interaction with the microbiome, they highlight the role of phytochemicals in animal health. Conclusively, a healthier soil produces more nutrient-rich plants, leading to healthier animals and ultimately benefiting human nutrition. #SoilHealth #RuminantNutrition #SustainableFarming
