About this listen
Is it too late to regenerate the earth? Call of the Reed Warbler shows the way forward for the future of our food supply, our Australian landscape and our planet.
This ground-breaking audiobook will change the way we think of, farm and grow food. Author and radical farmer Charles Massy explores transformative and regenerative agriculture and the vital connection between our soil and our health. It is a story of how a grassroots revolution - a true underground insurgency - can save the planet, help turn climate change around and build healthy people and healthy communities, pivoting significantly on our relationship with growing and consuming food.
Using his personal experience as a touchstone - from an unknowing chemical-using farmer with dead soils to a radical ecologist farmer carefully regenerating a 2,000-hectare property to a state of natural health - Massy tells the real story behind industrial agriculture and the global profit-obsessed corporations driving it. He shows - through evocative stories - how innovative farmers are finding a new way and interweaves his own local landscape, its seasons and biological richness.
At stake is not only a revolution in human health and our communities but the very survival of the planet. For farmer, backyard gardener, food buyer, health worker, policy maker and public leader alike, Call of the Reed Warbler offers a tangible path forward for the future of our food supply, our Australian landscape and our earth. It comprises a powerful and moving paean of hope.

I reckon this is the solution
A trove of idea's and methodology which makes common sense.
Just be prepared for repetition of facts and idea's and sales like banter
Completely worth it.

Definitive guide to regenerative agriculture in AU
Charles Massy does an excellent job of describing the potential of healing our mother earth as well as ourselves through our connection wifi her via regenerative agriculture from a scientific, indigenous, historical and spiritual perspective. He shares stories of farmers going against the grain to rejuvenate their slice of country to the mutual benefits of biodiversity, soil carbon and hence climate as well as economically through increased yields in the absence of rising chemical inputs. They shift their relationship from one of mechanical management through ongoing ecocide to one of mutual regeneration and flourishing. A must read for anyone interested in our long term future as a species.

A story of caution but also of hope
What a great book. A manual but also an entertaining wander through the life and learnings of Charles and many other Australian farmers.

Important, informative, and instructive
I am relatively new to the regeneration story, so this book was a perfect way to learn the full story. I plan to apply the knowledge to our land. It is a long story, but I have already begun listening a second time to be reminded of some of the techniques and case studies. I highly recommend it. (I only wish some of our elected leaders would take action in this area.)

Good but not amazing
I enjoyed the audio book however I found it repetitive. A lot of similar stories and case studies that could probably be lumped together and chop a couple hours off the recording. However! Enlightening and enjoyable to say the least.
