Synopsis
Soil is disappearing.
Farmers are stuck.
And we have organised our food system as if this were acceptable.
Between Earth and Equity looks past farming techniques and sustainability slogans and goes straight to the mechanics: ownership, incentives, supermarket power and policy.
The result is uncomfortable but clear. The current model rewards short-term efficiency while eroding soils, livelihoods and resilience. Farmers carry the risk of transition while value and control accumulate elsewhere. Regenerative agriculture is offered as a solution, but without systemic change it stays fragile.
This book argues for neither nostalgia nor a technological fix. It asks what makes regeneration economically viable at scale: stewardship instead of extraction, collaboration instead of competition, and finance built for long-term value.
For readers who sense the real problem is not agriculture, but how we chose to organise it.
