Ground-breaking ongoing research with some of the most ancient bacteria is leading to a  parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse of what is possible.
