George Monbiot
Winner of the 2022 Orwell Prize for Journalism | A Sunday Times (London) Bestseller | Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Writing on Conservation
“George Monbiot is one of the most fearless and important voices in the global climate movement today.”—Greta Thunberg
For the first time in millennia, we have the opportunity to transform not only our food system but our entire relationship to the living world.
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 farming sprawls across thirty times as much land. We have plowed, 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 and the price of food is rising faster than ever.
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 revolutionizing our understanding of fertility; through breeders of perennial grains, liberating the land from plows 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.

Critic reviews
A Sunday Times (London) bestseller
2022, James Cropper Wainwright Prize for Writing on Conservation: Short-listed
“George Monbiot is one of the most fearless and important voices in the global climate movement today.”—Greta Thunberg, activist and author of No One is Too Small to Make a Difference
“A brilliant, mesmerizing, vital book. Beneath each square meter of soil live thousands of species, and each chapter of George Monbiot's eye-opening exploration of that soil and its potential is similarly, dynamically rich-delivering a whole new way of thinking about our agriculture and our diets, our climate and our future. And much needed hope, besides.”—David Wallace-Wells, New York Times bestselling author of The Uninhabitable Earth
“Ambitious and deeply researched ... bristling with ideas and imagination.”―Laura Battle, Financial Times
