Information

With approximately 85% of the land in the Borders used for farming, agriculture is our bread and butter. However, BBC and Sky journalist Tom Heap argues that we must urgently change our relationship with the land if we are to fulfil the needs of both people and planet. In this practical guidebook we meet Britain’s most innovative farmers, scientists and conservationists radically re-imagining land use to address this imbalance and allow both to thrive. A helpful and hopeful event for anyone living or working in our precious countryside.
