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

5.0

I thought this was going to be nature writing and when it turned out to be about regenerative agriculture in Australia I almost quit. I am so glad I didn't! Because agriculture is also about nature and I learned quite a lot about ways farmers are regenerating land that has been destroyed by mechanical agriculture that kills the soil and requires gallons of synthetic fertilizer and pesticides both of which degrade the soil even more. The writing is great. There are pages of resources and book for further reading and I am totally diving down the rabbit hole with this. If you care about farming, food and our relationship with the land, this is definitely a must read.
