This week, on 24 March, the third book from Philip Lymbery, Global CEO of Compassion in World Farming, Sixty Harvests Left will be published in Finland. The book, first published in the UK in 2022, has since gone on to touch all corners of the globe, and been reviewed in The New York Times and The Telegraph amongst many other publications. The book paints a vivid picture of the climate, nature and health emergencies humankind faces, but presents solutions that have a regenerative, nature-positive farming focus on soil and the interconnectedness of all life on our planet.

Dr Jane Goodall DBE urges people to read this 'beautifully written book’. It is available in Finland from Into Publishing. Global stockists can be found here.
