“This is a time when more of us are increasingly looking to the land as a way to deal with society’s myriad, interrelated crises. Our recent podcast series with Paul Hawken on Project Drawdown made it so very clear why. Our management of the land and, ultimately, our relationship with it are central to our future prospects.”
Frances Jones and David Pollock’s radical project to remove income-earning livestock from their historic property, in remote Western Australia, shocked their entire district, and has gone on to produce remarkable results.
Charles Massy's ground-breaking new book features a range of similar experiments. It is a comprehensive account of how a grassroots revolution is helping to turn climate change around, while building healthy people, communities and landscapes.
