Description
This is an anthology of
writing from people who are engaged in practical, hands-on work to transform
land, food and farming systems in the UK at grassroots level. They are bound
together by a passion for understanding how land use and ownership shape not
only agriculture but also the character of rural communities and the country at
large. Many have first-hand experience of the challenges inherent in mainstream
farming, food production and resource management, and the difficulties faced by
those who seek to do things differently. But these are hopeful stories,
offering a credible and compelling vision of what life in a rural future might look
like.
Contributors: Maria Benjamin, Philip Trevelyan, Megan Willoughby,
Charlotte Hollins, Stella Peyerl, Stephen Davies, Jez Ralph, Clare Hill,
Colleen McCulloch, Stefan Laxness, Kaye Song
