Systemet för vår matförsörjning har börjat vackla. Vi plöjer och gör betesmarker av stora delar av världens yta, avverkar skog och förgiftar våra vatten. Allt för att förse en växande befolkning med mat och näring – ändå går miljontals människor hungriga.
För första gången har vi möjlighet att omvandla inte bara vårt matsystem, utan hela vårt förhållande till den levande världen. George Monbiot visar i sin friskt upplyftande bok att det fortfarande finns en möjlighet att lösa problemen.
Ny jord: att föda en värld utan att sluka planeten är en hisnande vision av en alternativ framtid – för matindustrin och för mänskligheten.
Monbiot möter personerna som leder utvecklingen och tillsammans visar de hur de allra minsta organismerna kan hjälpa oss sluta fred med vår planet och bana väg för en tidsålder som inte präglas av utrotning, utan av återskapande. En tidsålder av nytt liv och ny jord.
George Monbiot är en brittisk författare, journalist och politisk aktivist. Han är krönikör för tidningen The Guardian och har bland annat skrivit de bästsäljande böckerna Feral: rewilding the land, sea and human life, The Age of Consent: A Manifesto for a New World Order och Captive State: The Corporate Takeover of Britain. Leopard har tidigare gett ut Ur ruinera: En ny politik för en värld i kris (2017).

The Sunday Times bestseller *Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize*A New Statesman and Spectator Book of the Year'This book calls for nothing less than a revolution in the future of food' Kate RaworthFrom the bestselling author of Feral, a breathtaking first glimpse of a new future for food and for humanityFarming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction - and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticise urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across thirty times as much land. We have ploughed, fenced and grazed great tracts of the planet, felling forests, killing wildlife, and poisoning rivers and oceans to feed ourselves. Yet millions still go hungry.Now the food system itself is beginning to falter. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, we can resolve the biggest of our dilemmas and feed the world without devouring the planet.Regenesis is a breathtaking vision of a new future for food and for humanity. Drawing on astonishing advances in soil ecology, Monbiot reveals how our changing understanding of the world beneath our feet could allow us to grow more food with less farming. He meets the people who are unlocking these methods, from the fruit and vegetable grower revolutionising our understanding of fertility; through breeders of perennial grains, liberating the land from ploughs and poisons; to the scientists pioneering new ways to grow protein and fat. Together, they show how the tiniest life forms could help us make peace with the planet, restore its living systems, and replace the age of extinction with an age of regenesis.

Naomi Klein's ‘No Logo’ told us what was wrong. Now, George Monbiot shows us how to put it right. Provocative, brave and beautifully argued, ‘The Age of Consent’ is nothing less than a manifesto for a new world order.‘Our task is not to overthrow globalisation, but to capture it, and to use it as a vehicle for humanity's first global democratic revolution.’All over our planet, the rich get richer while the poor are overtaken by debt and disaster. The world is run not by its people but by a handful of unelected or underelected executives who make the decisions on which everyone else depends: concerning war, peace, debt, development and the balance of trade. Without democracy at the global level, the rest of us are left with no means of influencing these men but to shout abuse and hurl ourselves at the lines of police defending their gatherings and decisions. Does it have to be this way?George Monbiot knows not only that things ought to change, but also that they can change. Drawing on decades of thinking about how the world is organized and administered politically, fiscally and commercially, Monbiot has developed an interlocking set of proposals all his own, which attempts nothing less than a revolution in the way the world is run. If these proposals become popular, never again will people be able to ask of the critics of the existing world order, ‘we know what they don't want, but what do they want?’Fiercely controversial and yet utterly persuasive, the ingenious solutions Monbiot suggests for some of the planet's most pressing problems mark him as perhaps the most realistic utopian of our time and a man whose passion is infectious and whose ideas, many will surely come to agree, are becoming irresistible.

A manifesto for a new world order.Having made a hugely significant contribution to the increasingly irrefutable, if alarming, diagnosis of the ills of early 21st century consumerist culture and its free-market myths, George Monbiot sets out now with this book to offer something more constructive, a set of proposals – political, democratic, economic, environmental – that might affect the cultural change that many in the West (not to mention those on the outside of the West looking in) now want but scarcely know how to make happen.`The Age of Consent’ is provocative, brave, even utopian. But, with most of the 20th century’s Big Ideas dead in the gutter, it’s time for a book that can be a touchstone for real debate about the political and economic presumptions and prejudices on which our society has rested since World War II.

'With a dazzling command of science and a relentless faith in people, George Monbiot writes about social change with his eyes wide open' Naomi Klein'A manifesto for change ... The combination of practical detail and creative thinking is immensely impressive' P. D. Smith, GuardianWe know that climate change is happening. We know that it could, if the worst predictions come true, destroy the conditions which make human life possible. Only one question is now worth asking: can it be stopped? In Heat, George Monbiot shows that it can.In every case, he supports his proposals with a rigorous investigation into what works, what doesn't, how much it costs and what the problems might be. He wages war on bad ideas as energetically as he promotes good ones. He is not afraid to attack anyone - friend or foe - whose claims are false or whose figures have been fudged. Heat also contains a breath-taking new exposure of the corporations trying to stop us from taking action.

Brought to you by Penguin.People talk a lot about the problems with intensive farming. But the problem isn''t the adjective. It''s the noun. Around the world, farming has been wiping out vast habitats, depleting freshwater, polluting oceans, and accelerating global heating, while leaving millions undernourished and unfed. Increasingly, there are signs that the system itself is beginning to flicker. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, there is another way.Regenesis is an exhilarating journey into a new possible future for food, people and the planet. Drawing on the revelatory, rapidly advancing science of soil ecology, Monbiot shows how the hidden biological universe beneath our feet could transform what we eat and how we grow it. He travels to meet the people who are unlocking these methods, from the fruit and vegetable growers who cultivate pests as well as potatoes; through producers of perennial grains who are liberating their fields from ploughs; to the scientists pioneering new forms of protein and fat that can be cooked into rich golden pancakes and much, much more. We start to see how the tiniest life forms in the soil might help us save the living world, allowing us to produce abundant, cheap, healthy food while returning vast swathes of land to the wild.Here, for the first time, is a profoundly hopeful, appetising and exciting vision of food: of revolutionary cultivation and cuisine that could nourish us all and restore our world of wonders.© George Monbiot 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

A devastating indictment of the corruption at the heart of the British State by one of our most popular media figures.George Monbiot made his name exposing the corruption of foreign governments; now he turns his keen eye on Britain. In the most explosive book on British politics of the new decade, Monbiot uncovers what many have suspected but few have been able to prove: that corporations have become so powerful they now threaten the foundations of democratic government.Many of the stories George Monbiot recounts have never been told before, and they could scarcely be more embarrassing to a government that claims to act on behalf of all of us. Some are - or should be - resigning matters. Effectively, the British government has collaborated in its own redundancy, by ceding power to international bodies controlled by corporations. CAPTIVE STATE highlights the long term threat to our society and ultimately shows us ways in which we can hope to withstand the might of big business.

George Monbiot is one of the most vocal, and eloquent, critics of the current consensus. How Did We Get into this Mess?, based on his powerful journalism, assesses the state we are now in: the devastation of the natural world, the crisis of inequality, the corporate takeover of nature, our obsessions with growth and profit and the decline of the political debate over what to do.While his diagnosis of the problems in front of us is clear-sighted and reasonable, he also develops solutions to challenge the politics of fear. How do we stand up to the powerful when they seem to have all the weapons? What can we do to prepare our children for an uncertain future? Controversial, clear but always rigorously argued, How Did We Get into this Mess? makes a persuasive case for change in our everyday lives, our politics and economics, the ways we treat each other and the natural world.

Today, our lives are dominated by an ideology of extreme competition and individualism. It misrepresents human nature, destroying hope and common purpose. But we cannot replace it without a positive vision, one that reengages people in politics and lights a path to a better world. Urgent and passionate, George Monbiot shows how new findings in psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology cast humans in a radically different light: as the supreme altruists and cooperators. He shows how both democracy and economic life can be radically reorganised from the bottom up, enabling us to take back control and overthrow the forces that have thwarted our ambitions for a better society. Out of the Wreckage explains just how communities can be rebuilt with the help of a new "politics of belonging".

Fast alle Landschaften auf der Erde sind Kulturlandschaften, in die der Mensch großräumig eingegriffen hat. Was wir für ursprüngliche Natur und schützenswert halten, ist allzu oft degenerierter Wald, abgebrannte Heide oder kahl gefressenes Hügelland. Verwildert plädiert dafür, dieser Tatsache ins Gesicht zu sehen, und fordert in einem radikalen Ansatz, die Natur, die der Mensch jahrhundertelang gierig ausgebeutet hat, in ihr altes Recht zu setzen, ihr maximale Freiräume zu geben. George Monbiot fordert, eine Wildnis zu ermöglichen, die vielleicht nicht schön ist im Sinne der Naturidylle, in der aber womöglich eines Tages und mitten in Europa wieder Büffel und Elefanten zu Hause sein könnten. Wo Kahlschlag herrscht, könnte wieder Wald entstehen, und wo das Meer zu Tode gefischt wurde, ein artenreicher und üppiger mariner Lebensraum. Verwildert ist ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer und eine unterhaltsame Reportage, die nicht nur Agrarlobbyisten und Umweltschützer, Wildnisträumer und Waldbesitzer befragt, sondern in der die Begegnung mit den Schwundformen und dem Reichtum der Natur zu einem ebenso intensiv erlebten wie eindringlich geschilderten Abenteuer wird: Monbiot fährt Kajak neben Delfinen an der walisischen Küste, wandert durch Osteuropa, wo Luchse und Wölfe ihre alten Jagdgründe wieder für sich beanspruchen. Er erzählt von Erfolgen und Misserfolgen und beginnt so, eine Welt zu imaginieren, in der der Mensch wieder Teil der Natur sein kann.»Teils persönlicher Reisebericht, teils Einführung in die Wiederherstellung der Umwelt, bricht Verwildert eine Lanze für das Konzept der Rückverwilderung und wird sehr wahrscheinlich Förster, Landbesitzer, Politiker und die Öffentlichkeit dazu bringen, ihre Wahrnehmung der Natur und ihre Rolle in unserem Leben infrage zu stellen.« - Science

Por primera vez desde el Neolítico tenemos la oportunidad de transformar no solo nuestro sistema alimentario, sino toda nuestra relación con la naturaleza. La agricultura y la ganadería son la principal causa de destrucción del medio ambiente en el mundo, pero apenas se habla de ello. Criticamos la expansión urbana, pero el sector primario ocupa una superficie treinta veces mayor. Hemos arado, vallado y destinado al pastoreo grandes extensiones del planeta, talando bosques, extinguiendo la fauna autóctona y envenenando ríos y océanos para alimentarnos. Regénesis nos presenta un nuevo futuro para la alimentación y la humanidad, con el objetivo de resolver el mayor de nuestros dilemas: alimentar al mundo sin devorar el planeta. A partir de los asombrosos avances de la ecología del suelo, Monbiot muestra cómo ahondar en el todavía escaso conocimiento de la tierra que pisamos podría permitirnos cultivar más alimentos con menos agricultura. Algunas estrategias están ya en marcha: desde el hortelano que ha revolucionado nuestra comprensión de la fertilidad; pasando por las nuevas variedades de cereales perennes, que liberan a la tierra de arados y sustancias químicas tóxicas; hasta los científicos pioneros en nuevas formas de producir proteínas y grasas; todos ellos nos muestran cómo las formas de vida más pequeñas pueden ayudarnos a hacer las paces con el planeta, a restaurar sus sistemas vivos y a que a la Edad de la Extinción le suceda la Edad de la Regénesis.

Mästerligt bevandrad inom vetenskaperna och med en obeveklig tro på människan. Jag missar aldrig chansen att läsa hans verk." - Naomi Klein Gemenskap som motståndshandling för ett bättre samhälle. Den ideologi som styr världen främjar ohämmad konkurrens och individualism, det menar författaren, journalisten och aktivisten George Monbiot. Varför är det idag extremhögern som tagit sig ensamrätt på att erbjuda gemenskap? I Ur ruinerna uppmanar författaren och aktivisten George Monbiot oss att ta tillbaka rätten till gemensam handlingskraft. Här föreslås konkreta tillvägagångssätt för att hjälpa vänstern genom den mörka verkligheten - ett nytt tankesätt som väcker liv i människors politiska engagemang och som kan lägga grunden till en bättre värld. Språngbrädan är nya rön inom psykologi, neurovetenskap och evolutionär biologi som tillsammans lyfter en mer positiv bild av människans natur: som altruistisk och samarbetsvillig. Egenskaper som kan användas för att skapa en ny sorts politisk gemenskap, där fokus ligger på inkludering och tillhörighet. Både demokratin och ekonomin kan omorganiseras radikalt och på det viset låta oss ta kontroll över de krafter som motverkar kampen för ett bättre samhälle. Ur ruinerna är en bok rustad med hopp och skärpa för att förändra världen. George Monbiot är en britisk författare och politisk aktivist. Han är krönikör för tidningen The Guardian och har bland annat skrivit de bästsäljande böckerna Feral: rewilding the land, sea and human Life, The age of Consent: A Manifesto for a New World Order och Captive State: The Corporate Takeover of Britain.
