Designing Regenerative Food Systems - Marina O'Connell

Here is a unique toolkit for designing regenerative food growing systems with tried and tested agro-ecological methods for transforming industrial food growing into a resilient agricultural revolution. This system grows good food from healthy soil in a low input, closed loop system.

Using the case study of her Huxhams Cross Farm in Devon, England, O'Connell demonstrates how dead soil was transformed into a thriving fertile land. The principles, methods and techniques of each approach she takes are explained concisely, with illustrative case studies of successful examples and follow up resources such as film references.

Despite the challenges of climate change the resilient farming revolution can be brought about by food choices, policy, tackling barriers such as land access, the psychology of scarcity and how to build farmer capacity for the resilient food growing transition.
