A call to farms

reconnecting to nature food and community in a modern world
Jennifer Grayson
Book - 2024

"The rising movement of regenerative agriculture--a holistic approach to growing food that restores soil and biodiversity and could even reverse global warming--holds great promise for transforming our food system while reclaiming planetary and human health. Yet there is a little-known fact that could amplify the call for change: Within a decade, nearly half of all farmland in America will change hands as the older generation of farmers steps aside. Meanwhile, the groundswell of new growers eager to steward that land are up against seemingly every obstacle: rising land costs, insufficient income, a Goliath industrial food system, and the billionaires and corporations grabbing farmland at a staggering pace. So, how can we mobilize this potential 'greatest generation' of sustainable small farmers at this crucial tipping point? How could resilient local agriculture transform our country, heal the earth, and ensure that healthy, fresh food is accessible to all?"--
