Land is one of our most precious commodities, and yet our relationship and the way we take care of it is in desperate need of a reset. Writers Tom Heap and Guy Shrubsole discuss the damage done to our land, how we fix it to ensure we get the food, energy and housing we need, and the people working to restore the land.
In Land Smart, Heap tours the British countryside meeting the people who are solving the most pressing challenges facing our countryside, and transforming our world. He is a regular presenter on BBC1’s Countryfile, and has made many BBC Panorama documentaries on food, energy and the environment.
Shrubsole’s book The Lie of the Land looks at how a small number of landowners have laid waste to some of our most treasured landscapes. An environmental campaigner and writer, he is author of The Lost Rainforests of Britain, which won the Wainwright Prize for Writing on Conservation.
In conversation with Phoebe Smith, journalist and author of Wayfarer.
