Dr. Gregory began giving public presentation on this subject in 2016 to schools, public interest groups in Canada, the UK, Spain, New Zealand, and on 4 occasions to the University of British Columbia. He has given multiple presentation to different groups on Bowen Island.

Pathway to Regeneration

If you are vaguely aware that something is wrong with the food system but don’t know what it is or what to do about it, you should start by reading Phil Gregory’s Pathway to Regeneration. ~ John Ikerd, Professor of Agricultural Economics, University of Missouri, USA.

Phil Gregory is Professor Emeritus in Physics and Astronomy at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Since 2015 he has applied his research skills to understanding soil. Phil is also a founder and board member of Bowen Island Food Resilience Society.

This book is also available at the Bowen Island Library.
