For much of human history most of the world’s land was wild, either forest or wild grasslands. Over the last few centuries this has changed dramatically and now half of all habitable land is used for agriculture. The expansion of agriculture has been one of humanity’s largest impacts on the environment. But we only need around a third of this land to feed the world.

It is possible for us to reverse the effects of our impact on the planet, and the key to this is rewilding.
