'Powerful; purposeful and persuasive ... This book is transformative. We must read; mark and learn; fast' Michael Morpurgo 'A call to action - to change our world from the ground up. A vitally necessary book' Isabella Tree '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 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.
