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 we have plowed, fenced, and grazed thirty times as much land to feed ourselves while millions still go hungry. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, there is another way. Regenesis is a revolutionary new vision for addressing the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced: feeding the world while simultaneously preventing climate and ecological breakdown. Drawing on a vast trove of new research-astonishing advances in soil ecology, plant biology, and fermentation-George Monbiot sets out a plan for a completely new system, one that would restore great tracts of the planet and draw down carbon while ensuring that everyone has access to healthy and affordable food. Where hope seemed almost absent, Monbiot shows how the entire system can realistically be turned around. The age of extinction can be replaced by an age of regenesis. Book jacket.
