There are so many wonderful people who have inspired us through sharing their story or their experiences. I thought I would start to create a reference list of books, podcasts and films that have opened our minds to the possibilities created through the regenerative agriculture journey. The list is by no means exhaustive, and I will keep adding to it as I am introduced to other wonderful resources and stories.
If I have missed anyone who has inspired you, please share them here so I can build this repository of regenerative agriculture excellence!
I hope you can find something here to help inspire you. Where possible I have provided links to the page of the author so you can find out more about their stories.
