Our fantastic All-One Partners Compassion in World Farming recently celebrated a momentous occasion in the publication of its third book Sixty Harvests Left, written by Philip Lymbery their Global Chief Executive
Getting its name 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 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.
Sixty Harvests Left is the third in the trilogy following Philip’s first book Farmageddon, which was listed as a Book of the Year by The Times, while the second book, Dead Zone, was selected as a ‘Must Read’ by the Daily Mail.
Dr. Bronner’s UK was delighted to attend the book launch in August to hear Philip’s motivational and inspiring words around the book and mingle with some of CIWF’s patrons including Joanna Lumley.
