Do you want to eat better and save the planet? Do media headlines about food sustainability make you despair then feel compelled to make radical changes to your diet? It’s easy to head off in one extreme (and fashionable) direction, only to feel a niggling mistrust of your new belief system creep in.

The good news is that you don’t have to be bamboozled, particularly with statistics about greenhouse gas emissions. Reconnect instead to the world of real food, grown by farmers using age-old ways suited to their local landscape.

This is a compact, but deep dive into sustainable food. Liz Pearson Mann takes you on a journey around the English West Midlands - a diverse landscape with a rich food history. Having spent many years working in archaeology, she gives you her perspective on food. It’s a story of small farms, nature-friendly farming, of poop, rare breed sheep, cider, hops and ancient grains.

Come on a journey. Discover how people have always fed themselves from the ground beneath their feet. Tune into your local farmscape. Find out how you can reconnect. And how the past can show us the way for the future.
