Charles Massy believes we are at an extraordinary time in the history of humanity and earth. Humans have destroyed forests, increased the size of deserts and reduced the size of agricultural land. Increased dependency on coal and fossil fuels have increased the level of carbon in our atmosphere.

This has destabilised the interrelated systems on which we sustain life. The only thing that will save us is the holism of regenerative agriculture, where we see ourselves as not surviving without nurturing the substrate that sustains us.
