Sixty Harvests Left

More about the book

The warnings are urgent, and Lymbery's insights are clear and alarming. Yet, solutions are within reach if we act now. Philip Lymbery candidly outlines the disastrous errors in our food system while offering bold, inspiring alternatives. This work highlights the dire state of industrial farming and its devastating impact on our soils, emphasizing the UN's warning that we could lose our soils within a lifetime. Without healthy soils, food production is at risk, and time is of the essence. Lymbery travels from the UK to Italy, Brazil, the Gambia, and the USA, exposing the realities of industrial agriculture. He confronts 'Big Agriculture,' where mega-farms, chemicals, and animal confinement threaten our air, water, food, and cherished nature. Despite these challenges, he uncovers hope through the efforts of pioneers who are revitalizing landscapes, rethinking farming practices, rediscovering traditional methods, and innovating technologies to sustain a growing global population. Impassioned and balanced, this work illustrates the critical importance of future harvests and reveals actionable pathways to restore our planet for a nature-friendly future.
