How food producers can build soil health even in dry areas - RNZ Nine to Noon

Nicole Masters is an agro-ecologist who works across almost all production sectors - including dairy, sheep and beef, viticulture, and large scale cropping.

A New Zealander who lives in Montana, she's the founder of Integrity Soils, a company specialising in regenerative agriculture and the author of For the Love of Soil.

She says while New Zealand isn't facing the desertification that some parts of the world are, some regions here facing drought do need a re-think on how the soil is treated.

Nicole Masters is in Aotearoa for the Underground Festival next week - a two-day event in Canterbury celebrating soil, food and farming.
