在气候变化、粮食短缺和日益工业化的时代，一些有远见的农民能否通过技术找到全球解决方案，并以真正具有变革性的规模创造网络化、开源的再生农业？

在《伟大的再生》中，农民技术专家 Dorn Cox 和作家活动家 Courtney White 探索了独特的、开创性的研究，旨在恢复科学和农业相遇的空间，作为人类共同的努力。通过使用用于可视化和识别我们气候和社区的全球不稳定性的相同工具（例如卫星图像），他们发现了在单个农场之外加速再生解决方案的方法。

本书还探讨了开源技术通过数据共享和网络在促进健康农业生态系统方面的关键作用。如果这些系统结合在一起，就有可能彻底改变我们管理世界各地粮食生产的方式，分散和去工业化长期主导农业景观的结构和治理，并采用民主化、开源技术的再生农业原则，不仅向农民和牧场主传播高质量的信息，而且向我们所有人传播高质量的信息，因为我们承担着生态系统管理员的角色。

在这本书中，作者提出了一个简单的选择：我们可以让自己被新技术支配，或者我们可以利用它的潜力并利用它来理解和改善我们共享的环境。他们写道，我们现在需要的解决方案涉及更广泛的公众叙述，讲述我们与科学、彼此之间以及与我们机构的关系。我们都需要明白，今天做出的选择将影响子孙后代。

好评：

“Cox reminds us [that] regenerative farming is not just a set of practices, but an entire world view. . . [and] open-source technology, data sharing, Ag Data wallets, and farmer-to-farmer education are among our most essential tools in this world-changing endeavor.”—Ronnie Cummins, international director of Organic Consumers Association and author of Grassroots Rising

“This book is the blueprint for a new spatial practice to repair not only agriculture but community, politics, and the economy besides."—Jo Guldi, author of The Long Land War and The History Manifesto
