Regenesis: Feeding the World without Devouring the Planet by George Monbiot is a transformative exploration into the future of food and sustainability. This Sunday Times bestseller and Wainwright Prize finalist presents an urgent call to rethink our approach to agriculture.

In this groundbreaking narrative, Monbiot reveals how conventional farming practices are the leading cause of environmental degradation. He highlights that while urbanization garners criticism, agricultural expansion devours thirty times more land, contributing to:

  • Deforestation
  • Wildlife extinction
  • Water pollution

Despite our agricultural efforts, millions continue to suffer from hunger. Regenesis dives into innovative solutions to nourish humanity while preserving our planet. Monbiot draws on cutting-edge soil ecology research and highlights visionaries who are:

  • Revolutionizing fertility through sustainable practices
  • Developing perennial grains for long-term food security
  • Pioneering new methods of protein and fat production

This compelling book invites readers on a journey from traditional farming methods to the forefront of scientific innovation. Monbiot emphasizes the role of microorganisms and other small life forms as essential agents in environmental restoration, heralding a potential shift from extinction to regeneration.

Recognized as a Book of the Year by both New Statesman and Spectator, Regenesis is not just a book; it is a pivotal manifesto for redefining our relationship with food and the earth. Discover how a sustainable future with abundant resources is not merely a dream, but a tangible goal within reach.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
