What if there were a way to halt climate change and end global hunger at the same time? The solution is right under our feet. Regenesis is an exhilarating journey into a new possible future for food, people and the planet. Drawing on the revelatory, rapidly advancing science of soil ecology, Monbiot shows how the hidden biological universe beneath our feet could transform what we eat and how we grow it. He travels to meet the people who are unlocking these methods, from the growers who cultivate pests as well as potatoes; through producers of perennial grains who are liberating their fields from ploughs; to the scientists pioneering new forms of protein and fat that can be cooked into rich golden pancakes and much, much more. We start to see how the tiniest life forms in the soil might help us save the living world, allowing us to produce abundant, cheap, healthy food while returning vast swathes of land to the wild. In this brilliant, bracingly original new book, George Monbiot shows us a profoundly hopeful, appetizing and exciting vision of food: a revolution in cultivation and cuisine that could nourish us all and restore our world of wonders.
