'The warnings are coming thick and fast now and Lymbery's are
clear, concise and truly frightening ... But we have solutions that
we must implement now.' Chris Packham 'Philip Lymbery pulls no
punches in cataloguing the calamitous mistakes we've made in our
food system, but he has bold and inspiring solutions to offer,
too.' Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Sixty Harvests Left not only
reveals how industrial farming is ruining our soils but shows how
we can adapt to restore the planet for a nature-friendly future.
Taking its title from a chilling warning made by the United Nations
that the world's soils could be lost within a lifetime, Sixty
Harvests Left uncovers how the food industry is threatening the
planet. Put simply, without soils there will be no food: game over.
And time is running out. From the United Kingdom to Italy, from
Brazil to the Gambia to the USA, Philip Lymbery, the
internationally acclaimed author of Farmageddon, goes behind the
scenes of industrial farming and confronts 'Big Agriculture', where
mega-farms, chemicals and animal cages are sweeping the countryside
and jeopardising the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food
we eat and the nature that we treasure. In his investigations,
however, he also finds hope in the pioneers who are battling to
bring landscapes back to life, who are rethinking farming methods,
rediscovering traditional techniques and developing technologies to
feed an ever-expanding global population. Impassioned, balanced and
persuasive, Sixty Harvests Left not only demonstrates why future
harvests matter more than ever, but reveals how we can restore our
planet for a nature-friendly future.
