Por primera vez desde el Neolítico tenemos la oportunidad de transformar no solo nuestro sistema alimentario, sino toda nuestra relación con la naturaleza. La agricultura y la ganadería son la principal causa de destrucción del medio ambiente en el mundo, pero apenas se habla de ello. Criticamos la expansión urbana, pero el sector primario ocupa una superficie treinta veces mayor. Hemos arado, vallado y destinado al pastoreo grandes extensiones del planeta, talando bosques, extinguiendo la fauna autóctona y envenenando ríos y océanos para alimentarnos. Regénesis nos presenta un nuevo futuro para la alimentación y la humanidad, con el objetivo de resolver el mayor de nuestros dilemas: alimentar al mundo sin devorar el planeta. A partir de los asombrosos avances de la ecología del suelo, Monbiot muestra cómo ahondar en el todavía escaso conocimiento de la tierra que pisamos podría permitirnos cultivar más alimentos con menos agricultura. Algunas estrategias están ya en marcha: desde el hortelano que ha revolucionado nuestra comprensión de la fertilidad; pasando por las nuevas variedades de cereales perennes, que liberan a la tierra de arados y sustancias químicas tóxicas; hasta los científicos pioneros en nuevas formas de producir proteínas y grasas; todos ellos nos muestran cómo las formas de vida más pequeñas pueden ayudarnos a hacer las paces con el planeta, a restaurar sus sistemas vivos y a que a la Edad de la Extinción le suceda la Edad de la Regénesis.
