How do you regreen millions of hectares of land without planting a single tree? The remarkable discovery story of Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) is told in Tony Rinaudo’s new autobiography, The Forest Underground: Hope for a Planet in Crisis, published in 2022 by ISCAST–Christians in Science and Technology. This audiobook offers tangible hope for climate change through a powerful story of God’s grace and guidance. In a seemingly hopeless crisis, this is the good-news story that will move hearts and hands to care more for God’s creation.
In his seventeen years in Niger, missionary agronomist Tony Rinaudo discovered a simple method of regreening land without planting a single tree. The technique he pioneered—together with local farmers—came to be known as Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration, or FMNR. It has since reduced our carbon footprint, and transformed millions of lives and livelihoods. For his influential contributions, Tony has received the Right Livelihood Award and was appointed as a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia. He is now the Principal Climate Action Advisor with World Vision.

Reviews
“For years I have longed to see this biography written. And it lives up to my every hope…This is a story of breathtaking global impact. Indeed, it may yet save us all!”
“No research program—no matter how well funded—would have come up with this idea, because it expertly combines the subtleties of location-specific tree selection with farmer-specific opportunities and constraints.”
“Tony Rinaudo is a shining example of what perseverance and courage can achieve…As we face an aggravating climate crisis, Tony’s example gives hope. I am certain that his visionary work has the potential to change the world.”
