Inhaltsangabe
Brought to you by Penguin.
People talk a lot about the problems with intensive farming. But the problem isn't the adjective. It's the noun. Around the world, farming has been wiping out vast habitats, depleting freshwater, polluting oceans and accelerating global heating, while leaving millions undernourished and unfed. Increasingly, there are signs that the system itself is beginning to flicker. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, there is another way.
Regenesis is an exhilarating journey into a new possible future for food, people and the planet. Drawing on the revelatory, rapidly advancing science of soil ecology, Monbiot shows how the hidden biological universe beneath our feet could transform what we eat and how we grow it. He travels to meet the people who are unlocking these methods, from the fruit and vegetable growers who cultivate pests as well as potatoes; through producers of perennial grains who are liberating their fields from ploughs; to the scientists pioneering new forms of protein and fat that can be cooked into rich golden pancakes and much, much more. We start to see how the tiniest life forms in the soil might help us save the living world, allowing us to produce abundant, cheap, healthy food while returning vast swathes of land to the wild.
Here, for the first time, is a profoundly hopeful, appetising and exciting vision of food: of revolutionary cultivation and cuisine that could nourish us all and restore our world of wonders.

Frighteningly wonderful book
The problems are alarming and overwhelming. Solutions are in reach, but it seems no one really cares or wants a change: Greedy politicians, corporate money and our own will to move our lazy asses contribute to the daunting extinction of our species and the end of world as we know it. Meanwhile all over Europe protesters are jailed, while the true criminals run free. Georges book gives a deep and frustrating view into what's wrong with agriculture. But at the same time still there's hope. A must read and wake up call.

Thought provoking
It made me think about food and society. Important and inspiring. I will give it to people I love and will try to eat less animal products.

The elephant in room
As always, this book is well written by giving the reader/listener complex aspects of humanities biggest challenge in digestible and entertaining form. Highly recommend.

Misleading
The book's description is misleading since less than a quarter of the book discusses regenerative Agriculture. It gives the example of a single high yielding regenerative fruit and vegetable farm. While this farm appears to be a great model, more examples would have been nice.
The majority of the book discusses the serious problems with current agricultural systems, although some possible solutions, such as the seaweed that may reduce livestock methane emissions by up to 97% are ignored.
A large part of the book is dedicated to the author's favoured solution, a diet consisting largely of genetically modified bacteria grown in vats. The author assumes that since genetically engineered insulin is safe, all genetically engineered bacteria must be safe, although the Showa Denko tryptophan disaster which killed at least 50 people and crippled hundreds disproves this.
He falsely asserts that bacteria can produce identical proteins to animals - in reality the proteins will usually be incorrectly folded and the patterns of sugars attached to the proteins will be different, greatly increasing the risk of allergic reactions.
Although the book is supposed to be about how to feed people, the words 'micronutrient' and 'vitamin' are never mentioned and 'minerals' refers only to the minerals we must give to plants to make them grow. The only micronutrient mentioned in passing is vitamin B12. Polyphenols, very important for reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease and other chronic diseases, are never mentioned.
It's an interesting book but the author's conclusion that we can and should save the world by eating dangerous and likely nutritionally deficient genetically modified foods is simply wrong.
