This book calls for nothing less than a revolution in the future of
food - one that will literally transform the face of the Earth, to
make food affordable for all while restoring the living world. Such
a vision sounds near impossible, but Monbiot reveals the food
pioneers whose extraordinary innovations could bring it within
reach. Never shying from controversy, Regenesis weaves the poetry
of soil into the politics of farming to shake the ground on which
we all grow. This is Monbiot's masterpiece: an urgent and
exhilarating journey into remaking what and how we eat
*Kate Raworth*
Regenesis speaks to us like a poem that begins with a
phantasmagoria of that which lies under the soil, offers a
magnificent political economy of global food production and
concludes with a hopeful vision of a techno-ethical equilibrium
between Humanity and Nature. It must be read
*Yanis Varoufakis*
People from all walks of life should read this remarkable book. It
is in my view one of the two or three most important books to
appear this century
*Prof. Sir David King, former Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK
Government*
As we begin to rethink our relationship with Nature, the unstinting
work of George Monbiot becomes ever more valuable. Monbiot has been
at the cutting edge of the discussion for decades, and his
extraordinary book covers this complex, evolving subject with depth
and breadth, sincerity and humour. I never cease to be surprised by
the unexpected perspectives he brings to bear, leading me through
problems I never envisaged and solutions I never imagined. We are
left with the hope that the solutions might triumph, that we might
make it through
*Brian Eno*
A book offering evidence-based hope is a rare thing in these days
of climate and nature emergency - yet that's exactly what George
Monbiot has written. Inspiring and compelling, Regenesis sets out a
transformative vision of a new food future with the potential to
both restore nature and feed the world. Monbiot's blueprint is both
wildly ambitious and deeply practical, and might well be our last
best hope of stopping the sixth great extinction
*Caroline Lucas*
This remarkable book, staring curiously down at the soil beneath
our feet, points us convincingly in one of the directions we must
travel. I learned something on every page
*Bill McKibben*
George Monbiot clears paths towards solutions that lie dormant
within us, which, if embraced, could transform our world and our
societies into better places. He reaches for new ideas that might
ignite the collective consciousness in a push to protect, rather
than tragically destroy, the biosphere. Read George Monbiot and you
will meet the cheerful courage and passion of a fellow traveller on
this earth who seeks authentic hope
*ANOHNI*
For anyone who cares about where our food comes from and its impact
on the planet Regenesis is essential reading. This deeply
researched book lifts the lid on our current methods of food
production and all its dirty secrets: but more than that it
provides a blueprint for the future. Monbiot pursues the key
question: how can we have healthy food that's cheap enough for
everyone to eat? His answers provide critical pathways towards a
way to feed the planet
*Rosie Boycott*
Forget Elon Musk's dry-as-dust retro sci-fi fantasies, George
Monbiot gives us an inspiring vision of the future that is alive
and kicking and grounded in the latest scientific discoveries.
George Monbiot has combined his gifts as an investigator,
interviewer and witty storyteller to create an exhiliarating
epic!
*Robert Newman*
A fascinating and ultimately positive book ... a harmonic vision of
how changing our relationship to land use, farming and the food
that we eat could transform our lives
*Thom Yorke*
