The warnings are urgent, and Lymbery's insights are clear and alarming. However, he also presents actionable solutions that must be implemented immediately. He highlights the catastrophic errors in our food system while offering bold, inspiring alternatives. The title reflects a dire warning from the United Nations about the potential loss of the world’s soils within a lifetime, emphasizing that without soil, food production is doomed. Time is of the essence. Lymbery travels from the UK to Italy, Brazil, Gambia, and the USA, delving into the world of industrial farming and confronting the realities of 'Big Agriculture.' He exposes the detrimental impact of mega-farms, chemicals, and animal confinement on our environment, threatening the air, water, food, and nature we hold dear. Yet, amidst these challenges, he discovers hope in the efforts of pioneers who are revitalizing landscapes, rethinking farming practices, and embracing traditional techniques alongside innovative technologies to sustain a growing global population. This work is impassioned, balanced, and persuasive, emphasizing the critical importance of future harvests and outlining a path toward restoring our planet for a nature-friendly future.
