Longlisted for The James Cropper Wainwright Prize for Writing on Global Conservation 2022
This book is a call to action. It warns that unless we learn to accept and respect our social,cultural and political differences as town and country people,we are never going to solve the chronic problems in our food system and environment.
As we stare down the barrel of climate change,only farmers - who manage two thirds of the UK's landscape - working together with conservation groups can create a healthier food system and bring back nature in diverse abundance. But this fledgling progress is hindered and hamstrung by simplistic debates that still stoke conflict between conservative rural communities and the liberal green movement.
Each chapter,from Family and Politics to Animal Welfare and the Environment,explores a different aspect of the urban/rural disconnect,weaving case studies and research with Anna's personal stories of growing up on a small,upland farm. There is a simple theme and a strong message running throughout the book - a plea to respect our differences,recognise each other's strengths and work together to heal the land.
