Sun Cheese

What if the wildfires raging across the planet can be prevented and the Earth cooled?

In Sun Cheese, environmental writer, regenerative farmer, and agricultural consultant Siobhan Griffin offers a bold, hopeful answer to the unravelling of ecosystems and climate: humanity has had the power to impact climate for 64,000 years - and now we must learn to use that power to heal it.

Drawing on thirty-five years of organic and regenerative farming, Griffin challenges the despairing story that ecological collapse is inevitable. Instead, she introduces readers to the Restoracene: a new era of restoration where deserts turning green, revived wildlife populations, clean water recharging aquifers, and people working together in their own self-interest are not utopian dreams, but practical possibilities. From the rebirth of biodiversity on her upstate New York farm to the urgent need for ocean restoration and social justice, Griffin reveals how resource management, food systems, and community autonomy are deeply connected.

Inside, readers will discover:

- Why degraded ecosystems intensify climate disruption

- How mimicking nature can reduce wildfire and flooding risk

- Why regenerative farming can rebuild soil, biodiversity, and resilience

- How people can reclaim power over their own futures

- Why ecosystem restoration offers real hope beyond technological quick fixes

Scientific, personal, and fiercely empowering, Sun Cheese invites environmentalists, farmers, activists, policymakers, and concerned citizens to see themselves as caretakers of our living planet. Pristine paleolithic ecosystems provide useful blueprints for the regeneration of highly productive land and seascapes. This book offers tools and knowledge to help readers create a cooler, more secure, greener future - one landscape, one community, and one choice at a time.
