"Regenerative agriculture is going to be a key phrase in the decades ahead and this book will get you in on the ground floor, so to speak. Not much could be more important!" Bill McKibben, author of Falter

Wondering what you can do to help address the global climate crisis? Joining the Grassroots Rising 'Regeneration Revolution' might be the best first step...

Grassroots Rising is a passionate call to action for the global body politic; providing practical solutions for how to survive - and thrive - in catastrophic times. Author Ronnie Cummins educates and inspires citizens worldwide to organise and become active participants in preventing ecological collapse.

This book offers a blueprint for building a 'Regeneration Movement' based on consumer activism, farmer innovation, political change, and regenerative finance, embodied most recently by the proposed Green New Deal in the US. Using regenerative agriculture practices that restore our agricultural and grazing lands, we can sequester massive amounts of carbon back into the soil. Coupled with an aggressive transition toward renewable energy sources, Cummins argues that we have the power to not only mitigate and slow down climate change, but actually reverse global warming.

Grassroots Rising shows us that the solution lies right beneath our feet - and at the end of our forks - through the transformation of food systems around the world.
