This is an anthology ofwriting from people who are engaged in practical, hands-on work to transformland, food and farming systems in the UK at grassroots level. They are boundtogether by a passion for understanding how land use and ownership shape notonly agriculture but also the character of rural communities and the country atlarge. Many have first-hand experience of the challenges inherent in mainstreamfarming, food production and resource management, and the difficulties faced bythose 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 looklike.
