Sister Nature by Jess De Boer

Sister Nature by Jess De Boer

The revolution will not take place indoors. Kenyan beekeeper-turned-farmer Jess de Boer embarks upon a decade-long journey to find purpose and potential in the explosive world of regenerative agriculture. From honey hunting in the last remaining pockets of rainforest in southern Ethiopia, to gardening in the depths of Kenya's largest slum, Jess takes you to the arid lands of Northern Kenya where a group of pioneering farmers have begun to connect the people with the dust beneath their feet. This is a journey into restorative action. Confronting the challenges of our stagnant education systems, unsustainable food production techniques and the growing disconnect of our youth, de Boer merges fact and science with hard-won wisdom in this inspiring and accessible tale of proactivity and hope.

Jess de Boer is a farmer, beekeeper and lifelong student of the soil. A Kenyan citizen of Dutch descent born and raised in Nairobi, Jess has spent the last decade working across the East and Horn of Africa in the Regenerative Agriculture space. Jess retains a focus on facilitating the mainstream adoption of integrated land use practices across both tropical and dry-land (ASAL) landscapes and is committed to shaping the development of a regenerative African story - making farming cool again. In 2014, she won the Africa Book Club Short Reads competition with her story 'The Honey Man'. In 2016, her debut book The Elephant and the Bee was published by Jacaranda Books. Sister Nature is her second book.
