Il bestseller del Sunday Times *Nella rosa dei candidati per il Wainwright Prize* Un libro dell'anno per New Statesman e Spectator ''Questo libro non richiede niente di meno che una rivoluzione nel futuro del cibo'' Kate Raworth Dall'autore del bestseller Feral, un'anteprima mozzafiato di un nuovo futuro per il cibo e per l'umanità L'agricoltura è la principale causa di distruzione ambientale al mondo, e quella di cui siamo meno preparati a parlare. Critichiamo l'espansione urbana, ma l'agricoltura si estende su trenta volte più terra. Abbiamo arato, recintato e fatto pascolare grandi tratti del pianeta, abbattendo foreste, uccidendo la fauna selvatica e avvelenando fiumi e oceani per nutrirci. Eppure milioni di persone soffrono ancora la fame. Ora il sistema alimentare stesso sta iniziando a vacillare. Ma, come ci mostra George Monbiot in questo brillante e originale nuovo libro, possiamo risolvere il più grande dei nostri dilemmi e nutrire il mondo senza divorare il pianeta. Regenesis è una visione mozzafiato di un nuovo futuro per il cibo e per l'umanità. Basandosi su sorprendenti progressi nell'ecologia del suolo, Monbiot rivela come la nostra mutevole comprensione del mondo sotto i nostri piedi potrebbe consentirci di coltivare più cibo con meno agricoltura. Incontra le persone che stanno svelando questi metodi, dal coltivatore di frutta e verdura che sta rivoluzionando la nostra comprensione della fertilità; attraverso i coltivatori di cereali perenni, che hanno liberato la terra da aratri e veleni; agli scienziati pionieri di nuovi modi per coltivare proteine e grassi. Insieme, mostrano come le più piccole forme di vita potrebbero aiutarci a fare pace con il pianeta, ripristinare i suoi sistemi viventi e sostituire l'era dell'estinzione con un'era di rigenesi.

George Monbiot is an author, Guardian columnist and environmental campaigner. His bestselling books include Feral: Rewilding the Land, Sea and Human Life and Heat: How We Can Stop the Planet Burning; his latest is Out of the Wreckage: A New Politics for an Age of Crisis. George co-wrote the concept album Breaking the Spell of Loneliness with musician Ewan McLennan, and has made a number of viral videos. One of them, adapted from his 2013 TED talk, How Wolves Change Rivers, has been viewed on YouTube over 40 million times. Another, on Natural Climate Solutions, which he co-presented with Greta Thunberg, has been watched over 60 million times.
Farming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction - and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticise urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across thirty times as much land. We have ploughed, 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.
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 revolutionising our understanding of fertility; through breeders of perennial grains, liberating the land from ploughs 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.
