In the age of climate change, food scarcity, and increasing
industrialization, can a few visionary farmers find global solutions
through technology and create networked, open-source regenerative
agriculture at a truly transformative scale? In The Great
Regeneration, farmer-technologist Dorn Cox and author-activist
Courtney White explore unique, groundbreaking research aimed at
reclaiming the space where science and agriculture meet as a shared
human endeavor. By employing the same tools used to visualize and
identify the global instability in our climate and our
communities—such as satellite imagery—they identify ways to
accelerate regenerative solutions beyond the individual farm. The
Great Regeneration also explores the critical function that
open-source tech can have in promoting healthy agroecological systems,
through data-sharing and networking. If these systems are brought
together, there is potential to revolutionize how we manage food
production around the world, decentralizing and deindustrializing the
structures and governance that have long dominated the agricultural
landscape, and embrace the principles of regenerative agriculture with
democratized, open-source technology, disseminating high-quality
information, not just to farmers and ranchers, but to all of us as we
take on the role of ecosystem stewards. In this important book, the
authors present a simple choice: we can allow ourselves to be
dominated by new technology, or we can harness its potential and use
it to understand and improve our shared environment. The solutions we
need now, they write, involve a broader public narrative about our
relationship to science, to each other, and to our institutions. And
we all need to understand that the choices made today will affect the
generations to come. The Great Regeneration shows how, together, we
can create positive and lasting change.
