The Great Regeneration

Mehr zum Buch

In an era marked by climate change, food scarcity, and industrialization, visionary farmers are exploring transformative solutions through technology and open-source regenerative agriculture. Farmer-technologist Dorn Cox and author-activist Courtney White delve into innovative research that merges science and agriculture as a collective human effort. Utilizing tools like satellite imagery to visualize global climate instability, they identify pathways to accelerate regenerative practices beyond individual farms. The authors emphasize the vital role of open-source technology in fostering healthy agroecological systems through data-sharing and networking. By integrating these systems, there is potential to revolutionize global food production, decentralizing and deindustrializing long-standing agricultural governance. This approach embraces regenerative agriculture principles and democratizes technology, providing high-quality information not just to farmers, but to everyone as ecosystem stewards. The authors present a crucial choice: to be dominated by technology or to harness its potential for environmental improvement. They argue that the solutions we seek require a broader public narrative about our relationship with science, each other, and our institutions. The decisions made today will impact future generations, and the work illustrates how collective action can lead to meaningful, lasting change.
