Call of the Reed Warbler: A New Agriculture, A New Earth by Charles Massy

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

This ground-breaking book will change the way we think about, farm, and grow food.

Author and radical farmer Charles Massy explores transformative and regenerative agriculture and the vital connection between our soil and our health. It is a story of how a grassroots revolution, a true underground insurgency, can save the planet, help turn climate change around, and build healthy people and healthy communities, pivoting significantly on our relationship with growing and consuming food.

Using his personal experience as a touchstone, from an unknowing, chemical-using farmer with dead soils to a radical ecologist farmer carefully regenerating a 2000-hectare property to a state of natural health, Massy tells the real story behind industrial agriculture and the global profit-obsessed corporations driving it.

He shows, through evocative stories, how innovative farmers are finding new ways and interweaves his own local landscape, its seasons, and its biological richness. At stake is not only a revolution in human health and our communities but the very survival of the planet.

For farmers, backyard gardeners, food buyers, health workers, policymakers, and public leaders alike, Call of the Reed Warbler offers a tangible path forward for the future of our food supply, our Australian landscape, and our planet. It comprises a powerful and moving paean of hope. (back cover)
