    Anne Biklé is a science writer and public speaker focusing on the connections between people, plants, food, health, and the environment. A bad case of plant lust draws her into the botanical world in search of answers about humanity’s tangled relationship with nature and its tiniest creatures, the microbes that dwell in soil and the human body. She has coaxed many a plant into rambunctious growth or nursed them back from the edge of death with her regenerative gardening practices. Her latest book, What Your Food Ate: How to Heal the Land and Reclaim our Health, explores connections between soil health and human health and will be published in 2022. The book is another collaboration with husband, geologist David Montgomery and builds on The Hidden Half of Nature, the middle volume of their Dirt Trilogy. Her writing has appeared in print and digital media and on radio and her gardening practices have been featured in independent and documentary films.
