Growing (your) green

If you’ve never considered the intersection of agriculture, modern society and economics, the new book by Woody Tasch, founder and chairman of Boulder’s Slow Money Institute, is a fascinating read. SOIL: Notes Towards the Theory and Practice of Nurture Capital, published by the Institute, uses photography, poetry, philosophy and practical wisdom gleaned from food growers and artisans to educate readers about a buoyant model of finance called nurture capital, which works by investing funds with businesses dedicated to preserving the health of the land and community.
