Biodiversity, Agroecology, Regenerative Organic Agriculture – Vandana Shiva & Andre Leu

Description

The book is an interdisciplinary synthesis of research and practice carried out over decades by leaders of the agroecology and regenerative organic agriculture movement. It provides a detailed analysis of the multiple crises we face due to chemical and industrial agriculture, including land degradation, water depletion, biodiversity erosion, climate change, agrarian crises and health crises. The book lays out biodiversity based organic farming and agroecology as the road map for the future of agriculture and sustainable food systems. With detailed scientific evidence, the book shows an ecological agriculture based on working with nature rather than abasing ecological laws that regenerate the planet, the rural economy and our health.
