Colin Tudge is known for his influential work on food, agriculture, and ecology. A former journalist for the BBC, New Scientist, The Listener, and The Independent, he has authored numerous books, including The Variety of Life, Feeding People is Easy, and The Great Rethink. He is a passionate advocate for “enlightened agriculture” — farming that is sustainable, equitable, and rooted in ecological principles. He co-founded the Campaign for Real Farming and the Oxford Real Farming Conference along with Ruth West, which promote alternative, regenerative food systems. In 'The Great Re-Think', Colin Tudge argues for a global renaissance driven by ordinary people to address societal and ecological collapse. This involves rethinking everything based on morality, ecology, metaphysics, and the arts to build convivial societies within a flourishing biosphere. Prince William says, in support of these efforts, "If we as a society are to meet the challenges ahead, it will be about learning from the land and those who tend it with wisdom and humility". And, "[R]egenerative farming is not a fringe alternative. It must be a foundation stone for British agriculture to help us rebuild the health of our nation."
