Taking its title from a chilling warning made by the United Nations that the world's soils could be gone within a lifetime, 'Sixty Harvests Left' uncovers how the food industry threatens our world. Put simply, without soils there will be no food: game over. And time is running out. A fast-paced global thriller, 'Sixty Harvests Left' takes us behind closed doors and into the boardrooms of industrial agriculture, investigating the dark side of food production. It confronts 'Big Ag', whose mega-farms, chemicals and animal cages are sweeping the countryside and jeopardising the very air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and the nature we treasure. It spotlights the pioneers who are battling to bring landscapes back to life, in a world where wildlife, hens, pigs and people thrive by protecting the very thing that our civilisation is built on - soil.
