"Regenesis" by George Monbiot is a groundbreaking exploration of how we can revolutionize our approach to agriculture and, in turn, forge a more harmonious relationship with the earth. Monbiot, with his characteristic rigor and insight, delves beneath the surface of our current environmental crisis, tracing its roots to the very way we produce our food. He paints a vivid picture of a planet ravaged by traditional farming techniques but also offers a glimpse into a hopeful future where innovative practices could nourish humanity while healing the planet. Through engaging narratives and encounters with pioneers at the forefront of agricultural innovation, Monbiot unveils the potential of soil ecology to transform our food system and our world. "Regenesis" is not just a book about environmental destruction; it is a manifesto for change and a guide to action. Monbiot masterfully demonstrates how the smallest organisms under our feet could be our biggest allies in the fight against climate change. By embracing the principles of regenerative agriculture, we are invited to step into an era of regenesis – a time of renewal and restoration. This work challenges us to reconsider our relationship with the earth, advocating for a shift from exploitation to cooperation. It is a crucial read for anyone concerned with the future of food, the planet, and humanity itself, offering a roadmap to a sustainable and equitable world.

Had a big impact on me. - Alastair Humphreys
Another paper calculates that if a magic switch were thrown, causing the entire world to shift to a plant-based diet, and the land now occupied by livestock were rewilded, the carbon drawn down from the atmosphere by recovering ecosystems would be equivalent to all the world’s fossil fuel emissions from the previous sixteen years.[218] This drawdown could make the difference between our likely failure to prevent more than 1.5°C of global heating, and success.
— George Monbiot, Regenesis
