Agricultural Sciences - Regenesis: Feeding the World Without Devouring the Planet

Description

Book Synopsis: Winner of the 2022 Orwell Prize for Journalism | A Sunday Times (London) Bestseller | Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Writing on Conservation “George Monbiot is one of the most fearless and important voices in the global climate movement today.” —Greta Thunberg For the first time in millennia, we have the opportunity to transform not only our food system but our entire relationship to the living world. Farming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction–and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticize urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across thirty times as much land. We have plowed, fenced, and grazed great tracts of the planet, felling forests, killing wildlife, and poisoning rivers and oceans to feed ourselves. Yet millions still go hungry and the price of food is rising faster than ever. Now the food system itself is beginning to falter. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, we can resolve the biggest of our dilemmas and feed the world without devouring the planet. Regenesis is a breathtaking vision of a new future for food and for humanity. Drawing on astonishing advances in soil ecology, Monbiot reveals how our changing understanding of the world beneath our feet could allow us to grow more food with less farming. He meets the people who are unlocking these methods, from the fruit and vegetable grower revolutionizing our understanding of fertility; through breeders of perennial grains, liberating the land from plows and poisons; to the scientists pioneering new ways to grow protein and fat. Together, they show how the tiniest life forms could help us make peace with the planet, restore its living systems, and replace the age of extinction with an age of regenesis.

Why is farming the greatest cause of environmental destruction? It's time to confront this truth and take action. While we criticize urban sprawl, farming occupies thirty times more land.

The good news is that there is hope. Regenesis offers a visionary solution to our pressing dilemmas. With groundbreaking insights into soil ecology, George Monbiot shows us how we can produce more food with less farming. Imagine a world where we can feed the hungry without destroying the planet. It is within our reach.

From fruit and vegetable growers who have transformed our understanding of fertility, to breeders of perennial grains who are liberating the land from harmful plows and pesticides, and the scientists pioneering new methods to cultivate sustainable sources of protein and fat. They are all part of the regenesis movement, paving the way for a brighter, greener future.

If you're passionate about sustainability, this is the book for you. George Monbiot's Regenesis offers a fresh perspective and actionable solutions to the critical issues we face.
