An Agriculture. An Earth. “Part lyrical nature writing part solid scientific evidence part memoir, [this] book is an elegant manifesto, an urgent call to stop trashing the Earth and start healing it."—The Guardian A view of a regenerating dynamic ecosystem in three photos Paul Hawken, author of Blessed Unrest; editor of Drawdown “A definitive masterpiece. The single most important book on agriculture today.” Allan Savory, president and cofounder of the Savory Institute “A massive accomplishment and contribution to our collective work of building a new agriculture, a new Earth, and renewed human society and health.” Booklist "[Massy’s] message about the dire need for sustainability is one that all readers concerned about food and the environment should closely heed." From the introduction 'The other day, I was driving to town with my son-in-law Andrew and grandson Hamish to watch the latter play soccer. On the way, we passed a farmer on his tractor, boom-spraying a paddock with glyphosate. Hamish, all of nine years old, turned to me with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Grandpa,’ he asked, ‘why do people have to kill things to grow things?’ I was speechless for a moment. It was a profound question, but a question with a simple answer: ‘You don’t have to kill things to grow things.’ The farmers I feature in Call Of The Reed Warbler are at the forefront of an underground agricultural insurgency.They are part of a powerful vanguard that is rapidly gathering momentum.This movement is returning humans and societies to the state of health that our evolutionary history has designed us for and can turn around our destruction of Mother Earth and human societies. Collectively, these farmers provide a template for regenerating Earth.'
