This World Environment Day, we look to the future and how we in the fields of agriculture can give back to nature to ensure a regenerative, ecologically sound world.
In the Shadow of Green Man
Witnessing firsthand the human suffering caused by unjust and environmentally destructive farming practices set author Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin on a path of helping people lift themselves through, of all things, tapping the natural behaviors of the lowly chicken. In addition to writing In the Shadow of Green Man, he is now the principal architect of the innovative poultry-centered regenerative agriculture model that is at the heart of Main Street Project’s work.

Silent Spring
A book central to the start of Acres U.S.A. in 1971, and the environmental movement in general, Silent Spring began with a “fable for tomorrow” — a true story using a composite of examples drawn from many real communities where the use of DDT had caused damage to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans.
Food from the Radical Center: Healing Our Land and Communities
In Food from the Radical Center, Gary Nabhan tells the stories of diverse communities who are getting their hands dirty and bringing back North America's unique fare: bison, sturgeon, camas lilies, ancient grains, turkeys, and more. These efforts have united people from the left and right, rural and urban, faith-based and science-based, in game-changing collaborations. Their successes are extraordinary by any measure, whether economic, ecological, or social. In fact, the restoration of land and rare species has provided—dollar for dollar—one of the best returns on investment of any conservation initiative.
