Overview

What if the solution to climate change, food insecurity, and ecological collapse could be implemented immediately-using knowledge and methods already proven and available today? For decades, the world has pursued climate solutions in the wrong direction. We've built solar panels and wind turbines. We've engineered carbon capture machines. We've made international pledges and corporate commitments. Yet despite trillions in investment and unprecedented technological innovation, atmospheric carbon continues climbing, biodiversity continues collapsing, and agricultural systems continue failing. The critical piece everyone missed was beneath our feet the entire time. Regenerating Earth: The True Story of Why Everything You Know About Saving the Planet Is Missing This One Critical Element reveals the extraordinary potential of soil regeneration-a solution grounded in science, validated by farmers worldwide, economically superior to conventional agriculture, and capable of transforming humanity's relationship with the living world. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: The Science of Soil Regeneration Understand how healthy soil contains more living organisms than there are humans on Earth. Learn the mechanisms by which soil sequesters atmospheric carbon at rates that, if scaled globally, could remove one year of current global emissions. Discover why soil biology is the most overlooked carbon sink on the planet. Why Industrial Agriculture Failed Explore how we lost one-third of the world's arable soil in just one century. Document the hidden costs of conventional farming-water contamination, ecosystem destruction, accelerating erosion, and biodiversity collapse-costs that society bears while farmers remain trapped in chemical and debt dependency. The Regenerative Revolution Follow the stories of farmers on every continent who questioned industrial orthodoxy and discovered something remarkable. From North Dakota to Kenya to Australia to Brazil, witness how regenerative practices are simultaneously restoring soil health, increasing profitability, rebuilding communities, and sequestering atmospheric carbon. Practical Methods That Work Learn the specific techniques-cover cropping, reduced tillage, crop rotation, integrated livestock management, and agroforestry-that reverse decades of degradation. Discover how these methods adapt to diverse climates, soil types, and economic contexts. See the real-world results documented across diverse regions. Economics That Make Sense Challenge the myth that regeneration requires sacrifice. Discover how regenerative systems reduce input costs by 50-80%, improve yields or maintain them, capture premium prices, and generate more total economic value than conventional agriculture. Learn why the most sustainable food system is also the most profitable one. Community Restoration Witness how regenerative agriculture is revitalizing rural communities, restoring indigenous knowledge, creating local food systems, and rebuilding the dignity and agency of farming communities globally. The Path Forward Understand the obstacles standing between current reality and transformed systems-and how they can be overcome. Learn what individuals, communities, and nations must do now. WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS NOW: The climate crisis is real and urgent. But so is the solution. This book documents a pathway forward that doesn't require waiting for breakthrough technologies or transformative policy changes. It's actionable today. It's economically viable today. It's proven in practice today. Every farmer can begin implementing regenerative practices immediately. Every community can support regenerative producers. Every individual can make choices that shift systems toward regeneration. The solutions exist. The only requirement is understanding their potential and committed action.
