Philip Lymbery.
Sixty Harvests Left: how to reach a nature-friendly future.
Bloomsbury. 2022

Industrial farming is ruining our soils and threatening the planet. But there is a better way.

Philip Lymbery, author of the internationally acclaimed Farmageddon, goes behind the scenes of industrial farming around the world, where mega-farms, chemicals and animal cages are sweeping the countryside, jeopardising the water we drink and exhausting our soil beyond repair.

But in his investigations, he also finds hope in the pioneers who are rethinking farming methods and developing ingenious technologies to feed an expanding global population. Well-reasoned and passionate, Sixty Harvests Left not only demonstrates why future harvests matter more than ever, but reveals how we can restore our planet for an animal-friendly and nature-friendly future.
